This course demystifies creativity, equipping designers with tools to foster diverse thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and creative breakthroughs. It is tailored for design professionals seeking to elevate their creative skills and approach.
Creativity is often cited as one of the most important skills of the 21st century. Especially for creative professionals such as designers, understanding and nurturing their creativity is a lifelong task. Unfortunately, creativity is often misunderstood as a sudden burst of inspiration, the famous kiss of the muse, on which creative professionals depend to thrive in their careers. During this workshop, we will debunk this myth by looking at different models of the creative process and reflecting on the specific needs of participants when it comes to creativity. Tools and techniques tailored to different stages of the creative process will be introduced to empower participants to take ownership of their creative juices.
