Design Your Future

  • Meghan Doran

I created Design Your Future to bridge the gap between students and the creative industry as well as highlighting the incredibly inspiring women in the industry! It all started when I went on my semester abroad to Germany, Düsseldorf. I curated the event in a PechaKucha style with women from Cologne and Dusseldorf that I was super inspired by. I invited them to the university I was studying and it was successful due to the students considering what they could do in their futures. It also gave them an opportunity to connect and network with professionals. Due to the success and enjoyment of curating, I decided to do another one in Scotland and collaborated with Look Again Aberdeen. Here are the results below.

I invited award winning designer and illustrator, Lilly Friedeberg, to come speak to tie Design Your Future's German connection as well as connecting Scotland to the world.
