Leading With Play: Driving Creativity Through Collaboration
I will share design practices that have shaped my work as a creative director, product designer, and storyteller. The session will illustrate how play and prototyping are not just methods for generating ideas but tools for fostering creative cultures, inclusive collaboration, and resilient leadership. The objective is to show that when teams are encouraged to build to think, experiment fearlessly, and align their work with a clear sense of purpose, they unlock new levels of problem-solving and collaboration.
