5 Reasons why I love BarCamps at COS
What is a BarCamp, anyway? A BarCamp is an unconference. No fixed agenda, no pre-selected speakers, no hierarchy. Instead of a classic “stage vs audience” setup, participants shape the programme themselves. Anyone can suggest a topic, anyone can speak, everyone can ask questions.

Spotify Wrapped: How Interactive Design Turns Data into a Cultural Moment
Every December, social media feeds turn into a celebration of identity.

How to choose the best name for your brand: part 1 – SMILE
Let’s start with this – I simply love creative processes. Whether it’s designing an app, filming a commercial, or coming up with a name for a new brand – there’s something exciting about it. And sometimes even old brands need a “second name.” What’s really cool is that today, creativity doesn’t have to be chaos.
