Panel to discuss creative process of design thinking
Apr 7, 2016
An upcoming panel at Grand Valley will aim to illustrate how the theories and practices of design thinking can be applied to the creative processes of any academic or professional fields.
"Is Design Thinking Really Design?" will take place Thursday, April 14, from 10:30 a.m.-noon in the L. William Seidman Center (Loosemore Forum room) on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus. The event is in conjunction with West Michigan Design Week.
"For innovation to really happen, a full understanding of design thinking and the design disciplines is needed, along with the reinforcement that anyone can be creative," said John Berry, Design Thinking Initiative director at Grand Valley. "Design thinking actually helps unlock creativity."
Panelists for this event include Charles Saylor, former CEO and founder of izzy+; Danny Gaydou, design lead at Tiger Studios and adjunct professor at Kendall College of Art and Design; Patrick Shields, freelance designer; and Lauren Somers, film and video production major at Grand Valley.
