About the Session
What is Beer and Brainstorming? Beer & Brainstorming is an opportunity for clients to explore design thinking principles and rapid brainstorming exercises to get to unique solutions with the Big Studio team. Oh, we also sample delicious beers from around the world.
Session Overview The goal of this session is to engage the Big Studio team to reimagine and redesign an ordinary, everyday product using a customer centric design process.
• We asked people to develop three personas
based on three different umbrellas.
