About

Big ideas. Different perspectives & a few drinks.

Join Keith Dougal, Associate at JPE, as he brings together:

Dr Nathan James Crane - Board Chair of the South Australian Fashion Industry Association (SAFIA) Founder Élever
Eric Cross - Circ Industrial Design
Kiri Bowmer - JPE Design Studio

For a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the tension between universal design and designing for specific user needs. The session examines whether creating solutions for everyone can inadvertently dilute effectiveness, and how deeply addressing niche requirements can generate broader societal benefits.

When everyone is different, how do we design for anyone?

Drinks, nibbles & good conversation provided.
