Creating design solutions that are sustainable, inclusive, and impactful requires a humanity-centric approach. As a 21st century skill, design thinking goes beyond aesthetics. It is a call to action for designers to create systems that consider the interconnectedness of human experience to effectively confront the most significant challenges of our time and pave the way for a sustainable future.

💡 Reflecting on the inspirational sessions at the Birmingham Design Festival    Last week, Silver’s Design Team attended #BirminghamDesignFestival2024 - a celebration of the local, national, and international design industry. With over 100 events across three days, the team has come away inspired with lots of new ways of thinking. Here are some of their key takeaways:   🤖 Adapt to new technologies - the design world is changing and you must stay current. 🤘 Be brave - disrupt and don’t be afraid to create change. ✏ Create, test, iterate – crafting creativity is an ongoing process. 🔑 Collaboration is the key to success - with colleagues and clients. 👩💻 Challenge yourself – it's ok to make mistakes, but learn from them.    Attending this event was the first step in Silver’s new initiative to support the team with creative days out.  It’s designed to spark Interest, Investment, Involvement, Innovation and Inspiration.

Markets, business & my ricochet effect ✨ A month ago was the first edition of the Design Market at the Design Hub Luxembourg. It was also World Innovation & Creation Day 🌍🎉, and that's why we decided it would be an auspicious opportunity to promote the innovative spirit that drives the Design Hub. So, how did it happen? 🤔 Ruth Lorang contacted me after seeing the Creator Market I organized at Foundry last year. She had something similar in mind but, like too many, no time to organize it. That's why she decided to trust my skills to do so! Her mission was to energize the place and breathe new life into the neighborhood. 🎨 Sponsored by Ville de Luxembourg, we welcomed 24 designers and around 500 visitors. This first edition was a friendly way to open the doors of the Design Hub and to highlight the places made available by the city of Luxembourg. This special day was also the result of the involvement of the designers currently present at the Design Hub. When you are busy with a project, you don't necessarily know or guess where it can lead you next. Embracing this uncertainty is where growth and creativity thrive, allowing oneself to be guided by curiosity and passion. I simply think this is the beauty of (life?) it!💡 Want to read more about this special day?

It's International Design Day! "[It] is an opportunity to recognize the value of design and its capacity to effect change. On this day, we challenge designers to reflect deeply on the well-being of people within their local environments, and to find innovative solutions to local needs by using design as a vehicle to honor diversity and transcend borders." "What if designers first asked, is it kind? What if the measure of design was how well it cared for people and their relationships rather than how profitable it was? The International Design Day theme for 2024, ‘is it kind?’ is about building kindness into design practice." Find out more https://lnkd.in/dEGSDRWF #IDD2024 #isitkind #DesignDay

🧐 Are our designs truly inclusive? As technology and innovation further evolves, we need to question if we hold biases and ageism in current design approaches, and thus inadvertently neglecting the needs for aging populations. For Singapore Design Week this year, we invite designers and users in the older age demographic for an open conversation and a co-creation workshop. Collaboratively, we will explore the generational differences in the experience of design solutions and uncover opportunities to further promote age inclusivity in our future design approaches. Sign up today at https://lnkd.in/gwVckEjS About Singapore Design Week One of Asia’s premier design festivals, Singapore Design Week (SDW) celebrates Singapore’s distinctive brand of creativity, exploring design through three defining festival pillars: Design Futures (the design of the future and the future of design), Design Marketplace (lifestyle trends with a spotlight on Southeast Asia), and Design Impact (innovative solutions for a better world).
