Artist Statement

NSCAD Masters of Design (MDes) students will each present a chapter of the book “The Innovator’s DNA – Mastering the five Skills of Innovation,” followed by a workshop of engaging participatory exercises.

The book ‘The Innovator’s DNA’ is written from a ‘business’ perspective and many of the skills mentioned are those that we as creatives and designer already naturally use. This workshop aims to direct focus on ‘practicing & master’ these techniques – especially those that we personally need to improve.
