In the support of our mission, bringing design thinking closer to everyone, we have created Dash Online - virtually connecting the community of creatives and showcase how the future can be shaped with good design.
The platform gives a voice for creatives where Q&As, podcasts, and webinars will be posted from leading industry experts & innovative university students. We just published our first Dash Online -event, link from hear:
“It was the year 2017, when two students from Aalto University realised a great problem existed.
