Speaker: Natasha Jen

– I just can’t wrap my head around design thinking, and I ask myself – why can’t I understand it? Natasha Jen is an award-winning designer, an educator, and a partner at Pentagram. In Oslo this June, Natasha will take to the stage with a radical proposition: that design thinking is bullshit.
