Under The Hood March — Women In Design 2023

You are invited to join us online as two creatives walk us through how a design project worked. Each designer will share the brief, how they approached it, talk us through that internal feedback loop – This is too hard! It’s not working! Why did I decide to be a designer?! – and out to the other side to client love and project success. All of these insights in a quick conversational talk and additional time for live Q&A. For the month of March, to honour International Womens Day, we are highlighting and celebrating (as we always do) women in our industry. If you cannot attend this event but would like to see the content, register and you will be sent a private link post-event to enjoy on demand.

Under the Hood is a live event from 12.30pm – 1.30pm. Grab your sandwich, tea, coffee or kombucha and pull up a chair with your studio friends or in your WFH office. You can enter the event from 12.15pm on the day.
