Come and see two of London’s leading creative directors at a unique evening in The Sugar Club, Dublin, on Thursday October 1st.

Umesh Pandya of ustwo, one of London’s top digital product studios and Terry Stephens of global design group Moving Brands, will join us to talk about collaboration, connectivity and creativity.

Umesh will share the story behind Wayfindr and how ustwo and the Royal London Society for Blind People designed and validated a system that helps vision-impaired people move through the London Underground Network independently. He will talk about the tools, techniques, methodologies they used over the course of this collaborative investigation,  from concept through to a live pilot over the span of 6 months.

Terry will outline his journey into the industry, and how working with a diverse range of studios has helped to shape his approach to design. He’ll also share a yet-to-be-released case study from Moving Brands, discussing how story, play and multi-disciplinary teams collide to create meaningful brands and experiences.

Doors open at 7pm for curtain raising at 7.30pm. If you’d like to pre-book and pre-pay we’ll reserve your seats. Otherwise it’s €20 on the door or €10 for ICAD members and students (bring your membership / student cards).
