Sharing Knowledge through Storytelling
Join Ellen and Haya’s workshop to boost your design communication skills and create valuable knowledge-sharing cards. They’ll start with a quick introduction to storytelling basics, where they’ll dive into a hands-on exercise where you’ll refine your story from 10 minutes to one impactful sentence, honing your ability to convey ideas clearly and concisely.
In the second segment, you’ll apply your new skills to create personalized knowledge sharing cards, designed to aid in future design presentations, interviews, and pitches, and to share knowledge by highlighting a design principle, best practice, tool, or challenge. These cards will be digitized and shared on a public website and foster a community of designers
exchanging insights and best practices. You’ll leave with practical, knowledge-sharing cards and the confidence to tell your design story compellingly.
