Upcoming Virtual Event: Finding Design Nirvana

July 26, 2021 Bould Design

The pandemic is nearly behind us and we’re all ready to move forward. But how do we take the lessons we’ve learned from this experience and turn them into a new era of design?

Join a virtual discussion between Caroline Flagiello, Founder and CEO of Akin, and Fred Bould, Founder and Design Director at Bould Design, moderated by Whipsaw CEO and Principal Designer Dan Harden.

The panel will dissect how we can make the most of our newly realigned values, the work-life blur, and virtual creative collaborations. They will also analyze ways to implement the new design thinking that’s emerged which values experiences, quality of life, and purpose.

This is an event that visualizes the ideal future of design and determines the roadmap needed to get there.
