“This approach to solving problems really matters.

The urgent, complex societal challenges our communities and businesses are facing require designers to up their game and equip themselves with the skills and talents required to design in this constantly evolving terrain”

Lawrence KitsonDesign Leadustwo

“Make the most of your time together and create your network now. You will be in a unique position by the end of the course, with a set of shared skills, experiences and ideas.

Together you can do something that can make a change to the world.”

“Really get in the mind of your users.

Refine the quality of the experience but also remember to nail the value propositions for business stakeholders too, otherwise people won’t get to enjoy your carefully considered creation!”

“Create and keep a really wide perspective to your work.

Don’t just use what you are given but create your own reference and perspective. Test out your thoughts on the real world always and often. Embody passion in everything you do.”

chris ballhead of UXDigitasLbi

“Keep an open mind and look for inspiration everywhere. Look around you, listen to the stories being told, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

You can learn more about the human condition by walking down the street than by reading a thousand books.”

jane murisonhead of ux&Dbbc

“Great user experience works best if you think of it as a selfless pursuit and a team sport, it has the potential to create something that huge audiences will hold dear to their hearts.

If you stay curious and get past your inhibitions to ask dumb questions, you will hear inspiring and astonishing stories.”

Matt Cooper-wrightdesignerideo

“Being a designer today isn’t the same as it was 10 years ago.

The complexity of the systems we design within mean that there aren’t any fixed points anymore. As designers we are well placed to move with change, to seek out new problems and new solutions. It’s never been harder to be a designer, and never more rewarding.”

“Always consider the human behaviour that sits behind a design problem.

Effective experiences have the ability to influence that behaviour in a way is both memorable and remarkable.”

joe mcleodPrevious global design directorustwo

“Take life seriously, take risks happily, and don’t believe designers have all the answers.”
