Orange Hive | Design for start-ups

Building T-shaped people; learning approachable, pragmatic design.
Why does the Orange Hive community exist?

That through design and collaboration, we can develop ourselves into interdisciplinary, creatively confident, "T-shaped people" -- people who specialize in a specific field of design, biz or tech, but are able to collaborate across disciplines and are curious to about learning new things.

We believe design is about intent -- how things look, feel, function, and mean.

We care about ...

UI/UX

How people notice, interact with, and "stick" to your business.

message

How people discover, understand, and remember you.

Graphics

How people feel about your brand, legitimacy and personality.
What's next? (Sept 6 - Nov 8)

Learn design thinking through practice! Orange Hive is organising gatherings and mentorship to support IDEO+Acumen's (free) 7-week online certificate course.

We're all about hands-on and pragmatic. Watch this space for more practical marketing know-how sharing, design thinking workshops, website UX critiques, and more. Past events here.

Keep in touch on Facebook or mailing list.

Remember to give us some (anonymous) feedback!
We got the ball rolling -- over to you!
