Creationary

In this Lunchtime Talk, Greg Ryan from Pyka will explore the best practices and common pitfalls of co-design by sharing case studies on some successful (and some not-so-successful) past projects.

Developing bespoke creative tools for specific groups of people requires the inclusion of these groups from the outset. This philosophy of co-design is one that can be hugely beneficial to all involved but one that also comes with limitations.
