We are a design-led incubator with a four-month programme designed to progress an idea to a business. We drive ideation and innovation, deal with ambiguity within the design process, and create meaningful solutions to real human problems. The core of our activities are collaborative workshops, focused on refining and progressing student ideas with the support of peers trained in design strategy principles and human-centred design methodologies. These sessions are co-facilitated by industry professionals who have experience and expertise in the relevant stage of the process.
