Hear from Past DesignMashup Participants
“I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to become a part of DesignMashup ’19. It was a great concept that brought together people with diverse design disciplines from around the world to explore new ideas and share experiences and thoughts.”
“The Vision Workshop was a really great experience and I feel really lucky to be part of it. I really liked the idea of having 3 days in Milan and the workshop in Civita afterwards, a perfect contrast to Milan and a real mashup.”
"A challenging and exciting opportunity to be part of this international group, people with different background and culture and a very open approach to design. An amazing experience. We all grown as people and designers."
