Hear directly from designers and their researchers as they lift the lid on their processes—how they dig through archives, track down obscure photography, and follow hunches that unlock a project’s potential.

In this session, designers share stories from recent projects.

Pick up practical tricks, from finding rare references offline to building creative partnerships that push a vision further.

We’ll ask: in an era of instant digital results and AI image generators, what’s gained in speed and variety—and what authentic details, context, or creative serendipity might be lost along the way?

Due to designers’ schedules, we will confirm the full lineup of speakers on the website on 1st April.
