Designship is one of Japan’s largest design conferences, celebrating its 8th iteration this year. Under the concept of “Re-connect widely scattered designs,” it offers opportunities to link various designs by exploring the story of each individual designer.
HENNGE is sponsoring and exhibiting as a gold sponsor at this event, and Takaya will be speaking. Drawing on her experiences at HENNGE, with its active multinational team, she will discuss the realities of “product development born from diversity,” as well as initiatives for delivering improved services and the role of design.
