The Design Conference, one of the most anticipated design events in Australia, is underpinned by collaborations that are focused on delivering a better, more healthy tomorrow for everyone.
Using design thinking as a tool, Emmi demonstrates how you can best use your existing resources to maintain your creative well-being. Grounded in scientific research, Emmi’s inspiring Talk and Workshop will help you reinvigorate creative energy, foster resilience and achieve a more balanced work-life dynamic.
DO YOU OR YOUR TEAM FEEL DRAINED OR STUCK?
Burnout affects people in the creative industries three times more than the general population*.
The Creative Ecosystem model has been developed by the design leader Emmi Salonen to support fellow creative thinkers to reconnect with their purpose, develop personalised wellbeing rituals and reduce stress and burnout.
This is perfect for workplaces, membership organisations, conferences, events, retreats and academia.
