Hey everyone - as you may recall we planned to host Clive Grinyer in mid-April for an evening of discussion around his thoughts on design. Sadly, he broke his leg, just days before our planned event and he had to cancel.

However, we’re super-pleased to announce that Clive has rescheduled and will be with us for the evening of Thursday 1st May - next week!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For those unfamiliar with Clive’s work, here’s a quick recap…

Clive’s career has taken him from physical product design, to user interface and the full customer experience - as a consultant, corporate manager and at the head of national design organisations.

Currently, he is the Director of Product Design at France Telecom’s Orange, developing and overseeing the next generation of Orange products and developing design as a tool for innovation and technology development. Next month, Clive will be joining Cisco’s consultancy service as Director of Customer Experience.

Clive’s past includes…

 

 

 

• Senior Design management roles at IDEO.

• A co-founder of design company Tangerine with Martin Darbyshire and Jonathan Ive (yes, the designer of the iPod!)

• the Director of Design for Samsung.

• Head of Design for TAG McLaren Audio.

• Director of Design at the Design Council, creating the Design Demonstration projects with UK manufacturing and technology companies.

 

 

 

Clive is a passionate advocacy of design and design thinking is more than apparent in his popular talks, The Silence Of Design and Lipstick On A Pig, as well as his book Smart Design: Driving Technology To Suit Our Needs.

 

 

 

The evening will begin at 6pm, with drinks followed by a talk from Clive, an open Q&A session and a chance to network with other guests and meet with Clive.

Designers, creatives, technologists, entrepreneurs and innovators will find great insight and passion in Clive’s work; as such this is an event that you cannot miss!
