Everything Is Connected
The phrase “everything is connected” reflects how Beatrice Santiccioli’s design method develops and grows within a comprehensive and connected process of work that encompasses vision, design, and production. In her presentation, she will share some highlights of her “modus operandi” from a couple of projects with the intention to inspire and enrich your own processes.
