From speaking and writing to structure and second languages, the workshops created space to step outside our comfort zones, practice new techniques, and rethink how we present ideas. Whether it’s pitching to a client, sharing a concept with a team, or writing about our work, storytelling is a vital part of the design process—one that’s often overlooked.

Throughout the series, we had the chance to learn from an incredible group of facilitators:

Maggie Ollove led a session on how to craft stories that connect audiences to your work’s purpose and potential—reminding us that design doesn’t always speak for itself.

Isis Shiffer followed with a workshop on presenting with confidence, offering practical tools for calming nerves, structuring a talk, and holding a room’s attention.
