Location, Setting & Decoration

I offer you, inspiring and functional venues, tailored to the specific workshop and the number of participants, ensuring they have a comfortable and memorable experience.

I arrange spaces to

Additionally, I use my skills to create spatial harmony and craft visually captivating decor that instills a
sense of warmth and hospitality.

Discovering the Design Thinking Method

Design Thinking is an innovative, human-centered approach to problem solving that emphasizes empathy, creativity, and collaboration to develop solutions. It can be applied to a wide range of challenges, from product design to process improvement to organizational change to drive innovation and solve complex problems.

The workshop begins with a specific challenge and goes through multiple stages of iteration: observation, interviews, brainstorming, and prototyping. Teams often cycle back and forth between these stages as they refine their understanding of the problem and develop more effective solutions.
