The Design Trust MAKE A DIFFERENCE ... AN ONLINE FESTIVAL WITH CREATIVE WOMEN WITH PURPOSE’. We have asked some of our favourite creative women and role models to talk about their bigger purpose but also how they make it happen! .
Through a series on online interviews throughout the month, we are asking these women to share with us WHAT they really do, WHY they do what they do, and HOW they do that. To share their big ideas, what drives them, and what it takes to actually make things happen.
