PERSPECTIVES: HOW WE DESIGN

Taste, Influence & the Making of a Point of View

Thursday, November 12, 2026
11:00 AM ET | 4:00 PM UK
Virtual | Live UK/US Conversation

Moderated by Veronika Miller, Founder of Designhounds

What shapes the way we design? Is it culture, experience, personal taste, or the influences we absorb along the way? And how do we develop a distinctive point of view in a world where inspiration is everywhere and trends travel faster than ever?

Join us for the first virtual conversation in Perspectives: UK/US, as our speakers explore the influences that shape their creative thinking, how they translate inspiration into meaningful design, and what it means to develop an authentic design identity.

We’ll explore the differences and similarities between British and American design sensibilities, the relationship between instinct and process, and how personal perspective becomes a professional advantage.

This isn’t a webinar. It’s an open conversation between two design cultures, with opportunities for the audience to contribute questions and perspectives of their own.
