Why Design Matters?

Design is relevant, today more than ever. But why is that? In this virtual master class, Edgar Gonzalez Academic Director of the Bachelor in Design will guide us in a talk about how Netflix uses big data to design a better user experience, how Lego solved a business problem. How Dyson innovated the vacuum industry and how Bruce Mau Design recreated Sonos identity. Design is at the core of everything we do. At IE, we place design at the center stage because we truly believe design matters and we are aware that creative thinking has the power to revolutionise and make the world we live in a better place.
