Morning Sessions: From Pinterest Board to Business Plan
Pinterest's Eoin Carrigan joins Vicky Ross, founder of Andticks and cultural curator of 44 Stanley, and Nandi Dlepu, founder of Mamakashaka & Friends and House & Leisure editor-at-large, to begin at the beginning: how taste is formed. The conversation spans the Pinterest feed to the real world, and moves from collecting and saving inspiration to taste as both personal signifier and value proposition. It also explores the role of taste and curation when working with other creatives and brands, how young designers can develop their own eye, and how Pinterest contributes to both the creative and commercial aspects of personal taste.
