Workwhile Design Talks Presents...
Not the Only Experiment: Restorative Design for a Planet in Crisis

This November, we tackle one of our toughest topics yet: Restorative Design. More than just another talk about sustainability, we’ll meet with designers building solutions to address the damage we’ve done to the planet to find out how – and if – design can indeed bring about the change we need to slow down climate change.

Tickets go live tomorrow, 31st Oct, at 10am. Link in bio for more details.
