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.

Greg will highlight how developing bespoke creative tools for specific groups of people can be hugely beneficial to all involved but one that at times cam also comes with limitations.
