Crafting the art of storytelling by discovering who you are. A panel discussion and workshop for emerging designers.

You can't design a good pitch if you don't have an idea of who you are and where you want to go. This panel/workshop focuses on introductions, discoveries, and storytelling. Who are you? What are your unique strengths and skill sets? What is your personal narrative that differentiates you from the rest? How might you articulate all of this into an organized and inspiring pitch?
