Rebecca Price and Mieke van der Bijl-Brouwer have been pioneering this research on Designer Resilience. They will be sharing their learnings, actionable principles, and a full toolkit of activities at Dutch Design Week this year. Join us! There's only a couple of spots left!

🎨 Inspiration like air for me…it’s kind of energy Im living on Through years I found that we don’t need to try to find it…the only thing we need is to look around And now It’s not only about design, but engineering, art, cooking, writing…. Creativity is life As creators, we need to know that inspiration is everywhere, waiting to be discovered and transformed into something extraordinary. Here are a few tips to help you find that spark: Explore Nature: Step outside and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. From the intricate patterns of leaves to the vibrant colors of a sunset, nature offers endless inspiration for your designs. Travel: Whether it's a bustling city or a tranquil village, traveling exposes you to new cultures, architecture, and art forms. Each destination brings a unique perspective that can breathe life into your designs. Dive into Art: Visit museums, galleries, and exhibitions to soak in the creativity of artists past and present. Studying different art movements and techniques can inspire fresh ideas and approaches to your work. Embrace Technology: Explore the latest trends and innovations in technology, from cutting-edge websites to groundbreaking digital experiences. Keeping up with industry developments can spark creativity and push your designs to new heights. Collaborate and Network: Engage with fellow designers, attend workshops, and participate in design communities. Sharing ideas and experiences with others can ignite inspiration and foster collaboration. Remember, inspiration is all around us – in the everyday moments, the extraordinary experiences, and the connections we make. Stay curious, stay open-minded, and let your surroundings fuel your creativity. ✨🚀 #DesignInspiration #Creativity #GraphicDesign #WebDesign #DesignCommunity #InspirationEverywhere
