Gdynia Design Days
18 July 2022
On July 7 at the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park Gdynia, we had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Edyta Sadowska from our LAB 60+ as part of Gdynia Design Days. 4 inspiring women talked about the future, technology, business and new approaches to design. We were looking for answers to questions such as: - How to convince an Investor that it is worth investing in additional research in the creation of a project? - How to create a research group in the design process? - What competencies of a designer are important? In addition to Edyta, we could also listen to: Katarzyna Jaros-Puzio - Interior Design Leader IKEA, who spoke about how IKEA "walks with shoes" into our homes to create the best possible products Natalia Olszewska - talking about how you can design based on neuroscience and data science. Justyna Puchalska - a great presenter of the whole discussion, complementing it in virtually every aspect.
