Lunch Seminar: What Can Design Do for You? To bridge the gap between business and design, AIGA San Francisco will present a lunch-time seminar that will explore how "design thinking" can help your company reach its goals. Design thinking has been defined as a process for practical, creative resolution of problems or issues that looks for an improved future result. Unlike analytical thinking, design thinking is a creative process based around the "building up" of ideas. The seminar will feature a moderated panel of experts who have expertise in design strategy and provide “design thinking” to their clients.
