10. F*ck the conservative world!
Presented by Freddie Öst and Erik Kockum from SNASK at DesignThinkers Vancouver 2024
In this presentation, Freddie and Erik share insights on how to create eye-popping design, how to push clients to let you break free from conventions and also offer a healthy dose of other branding insights.

9. Over the Rainbow
Presented by Zipeng Zhu at DesignThinkers Vancouver 2024
In this presentation, Zipeng shows you how to look deep into your inner self, search beyond the clouds and manifest into a bright, colourful and dreamy rainbow. By embracing his Chinese immigrant background and his queerness, Zipeng has rewritten the definition of the rainbow using his bold, dazzling work filled with exuberant graphics and dynamic typography.
8. Decolonizing Design: A Cultural Justice Guidebook
Presented by Dori Tunstall at DesignThinkers Vancouver 2024
In this talk, Dori addresses two aspects of decolonizing design: putting Indigenous first and dismantling the racist bias in the European modernist project in design. She provides a framework to understand one’s positionality vis-a-vis Indigenous sovereignty and how that sets conditions for design that provides liberatory joy to bodies and communities.
7. Crafting the Life You Want by Jessica Hische
Presented by Jessica Hische at DesignThinkers Vancouver 2024
In this talk, Jessica explains how she’s navigated all of these changes while trying to stay true to herself—from her client work and kids’ books to opening two brick-and-mortar stores. She talks about promoting your work without modifying every part of yourself, the power of embracing your local community, and how to align new technologies with your values to live the creative life you want.
6. Power of One
Presented by Min Lew at DesignThinkers Toronto 2023
In the era of “iterative,” Min discusses the transformative power of leading with a singular vision and how she applies the ethos to design projects, teams and the business itself. This video shows Min's journey from designer to Managing Partner and ECD at Base Design, showcasing how one idea can drive remarkable change for clients and influence the design world when pushed to its limits.
5. Typography in Digital Environments and Future Technologies
Presented by Eleni Beveratou at DesignThinkers Toronto 2023
Typefaces that are multi-functional, scalable and accessible are a necessity. Through the use of pre-existing type technologies and the introduction of variable fonts, Eleni explains how it’s now possible to anticipate a type’s use in VR, AR and mixed-reality environments.
4. Natural Born Sellers
Presented by Chris Do at DesignThinkers Toronto 2023
You were born with a superpower—the gift to influence others. You used this power to be fed and get attention. Over time, you forgot. You became self-conscious and afraid of rejection. You don’t need to learn how to sell. You need to remember how to be human. Sales is an act of service done in the spirit of generosity. Watch this video as Chris explains how to sell without being salesy.
3. How to Fall in Love with Typography
Presented by Ellen Lupton at DesignThinkers Vancouver 2024
Creating the all-new third edition of this best-selling book required her to question everything. What assumptions are baked into the English-speaking design vocabulary? How can type education become more forgiving? Where are the women in type design? What stories lurk behind basic forms such as spacing, capital letters and stroke contrast? Join Ellen as she answers these questions and shares tips, tools and insights for working with type.
2. Creativity is a Discipline of Optimism
Presented by Tina Roth Eisenberg at DesignThinker Vancouver 2024
In this recording, Tina shares lessons she learned in her journey, from being a NYC-based graphic designer to a founder of multiple bootstrapped, creative businesses. Tina believes that each of us has what we need to succeed as long as we stay in our hearts, stay curious and focus on a positive outcome. She believes that a more communal, heart-centered and generous future is possible. Come to her session to hear inspiring, uplifting stories and be reminded of your own magic.
1. I am Not Done Yet
Presented by Paula Scher at DesignThinkers Toronto 2023
