How we can collaborate with companies

In addition to open programs (workshops and other programs), DLX DESIGN ACADEMY also offers individually customized programs for companies.

● Design Thinking Design Doing: In-house penetration and practice of design thinking has an effect on the growth of the company. For this reason, we are mainly conducting programs for non-designer employees (engineers, people in the business department such as marketing) to learn and practice design thinking. The period is half a day, one day to several weeks (held once a week), etc.

● Focused on design methods and themes such as "service design" and "circular economy". We will propose according to your company's issues.

We can handle various formats such as workshops, lectures, and boot camps. Please feel free to contact us.
