MIX Design Day 2025
2025-10-02 09:00 - 17:30
Cornerstone of Design: Where Creativity Meets Connection
Get ready for a lively day of hands-on sessions and big ideas that dig into what truly shapes great design. Whether you are a student or a seasoned professional, you will explore how failure sparks innovation, uncover the hidden forces behind teamwork, define what success really looks like, and discover the power of design leadership. This is more than a conference. It is a collaborative experience designed to inspire, challenge, and connect creative minds across all levels.
This event is curated by design professionals for creatives and design-centric thinkers.
Session Topics
Fail Forward: Designing Through Setbacks: Explore the value of failure as a powerful teacher in the design process. Through real stories and honest insights, learn how missteps reveal missing building blocks and open the door to deeper growth and stronger outcomes.
Core Constructs: Uncover the essential elements that quietly support every successful design. Through hands-on exploration and group insight, reveal the often-overlooked forces that shape strong creative outcomes.
Success, By Design: What makes a design truly successful? Is it innovation, measurable impact, industry accolades, or the clarity of solving the right problem? In this session, learn how aligning on a definition of success from the outset can sharpen your process, guide better decisions, and shape the story your work tells.
Guiding the Creative Current: Leadership by Design: Great design begins with great leadership. Leaders inspire vision, nurture talent, and ignite collaboration. This session celebrates the vital role design leaders play in shaping not just projects, but the culture that empowers teams to innovate boldly and create with purpose.
