Design and thinking

"Design & Thinking" is a documentary exploring the idea of "design thinking."

We interviewed Tim Brown, Roger Martin, Bill Moggridge, David Kelley, and many leading design thinkers in the world. Selected by Forbes as one of “Must-See Design Documentaries You Don't Want To Miss,” Design & Thinking has been screened at more than 400 events across 40 countries, including Google, Microsoft, Target, Harvard University, Northwestern University, Berkeley University, and many more.

How do we fully engage organizations to think about the changing landscape of business, culture and society? Inspired by design thinking, this documentary grabs businessman, designers, social change-makers and individuals to portrait what they have in common when facing this ambiguous 21st century. What is design thinking? How is it applied in business models? How are people changing the worldwith their own creative minds? It is a call to the conventional minds to change and collaborate.
