DA Autumn Conversations is all about connecting people-to-people and people-to-ideas.
We will explore this year’s theme of “Design and Planet” through discussions around planet-centered design and educating clients about sustainable practices.
The format for the evening will include talks from our 3 featured speakers followed by a Q&A with all of the speakers.
These events will be taking place in Tāmaki Makaurau on 4 Apr, Pōneke on 9 Apr, and Ōtautahi on 15 Apr.

Building on the previous success of Raul Sarrot’s strategy and design-thinking workshops, this hands-on session offers a deeper dive into the world of purposeful innovation, focusing specifically on how to bring a life-centred, sustainable lens to creative problem-solving
Design for Conservation (D4C) is a methodology that enables participative problem-solving for environmental conservation and sustainability challenges. This toolkit enables participants to address complex challenges in a creative, non-linear way, taking into consideration multiple stakeholder points of view - human and nonhuman - and the complex interactions between emotional, spiritual, and scientific approaches. The methodology balances work and play, fostering trust among participants, and creating a safe space for multiple world views to co-exist.
We all have talents; naturally recurring ways of thinking, feeling, or behaving that can be productively applied. We use them every day to achieve what we are responsible for. The challenge is that talents are innate. We just “do them” without thinking. So it can be difficult for us to describe them to others and even see the value in them ourselves.

You are invited to join us online as two designers walk us through how a project worked. Each designer will share the brief, how they approached it, talk 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. All of these insights in a quick conversational talk and additional time for live Q&A.
Stepping out on your own can be daunting for even the most experienced designer, running a business calls for many hats to be worn every day along with doing the work.
