Circle Connects 3: Lovable Design

In a world inundated with products and services vying for attention, what truly sets something apart? What makes us not just appreciate but deeply cherish certain designs? The answer lies in the essence of what we’d like to call “Lovable Design.”

Lovable Design transcends mere functionality or aesthetics; it delves into the realm of emotional connection. It’s about infusing products, interfaces, and experiences with a sense of warmth, empathy, and delight. It’s the art of designing with heart.

So, what are the key ingredients of Lovable Design? Join us for an unforgettable journey in unlocking the transformative power of Lovable Design together!

Now, he is championing the circular economy as Head of Product Design at Carousell.
