Watch: Under the Hood Women in Design, Mar 2023

2 years ago by

For the month of March, to honour International Women’s Day, we highlighed and celebrated (as we always do) women in the design industry at our Under the Hood webinar.

Each designer shared a brief, how they approached it, talked us through that internal feedback loop – This is too hard! It’s not working! Why did I decide to be a designer?! – and out to the other side to client love and project success.

DA Friends can watch the full event here. Use the access code emailed to you.
