ARTIST SPEAKEASY > DESIGN SOLUTIONS  

Is the world designed with only men in mind? Why are products for women often coloured pink? Why are so many things made of plastic? How do we embrace First Nations heritage into design thinking? We invited you to share your design problems, chose the hardest to solve, and enlisted the best and brightest students from Monash University to find the best solutions. Hear how they solved your design problems and vote for the best team!
