About Event

We all know how it feels to be out of balance, not knowing how to cope best with the challenges everyday life throws at us.

Finding a way out of this situation often requires making changes to our lives. Some of us do this by meditating, practising yoga, while others prefer the gym or need time off.

What role does design play in this context? And how can design help us to create experiences that promote mindfulness and wellbeing?

Join Bradley Gabr-Ryn, Product designer at Facebook, Avril Chester, Founder & CEO of Cancer Central and Ruth Farenga, Founder of Conscious Leaders for an insightful panel discussion on designing for wellbeing.
