Self-Awareness for Innovation
With IDE Academy and TU Delft
Two workshops hosted at TU Delft, Faculty of Industrial Design, based on the use of “awareness as a key tool for innovation”.
Sara’s approach to mindfulness in design was experienced by either students from the IDE Academy, and from the student’s of Professor Pieter Desmet course “Design and Emotions” from IDE Faculty.
