The Business Behind Design
We all can see the tangible outcome of impactful design, but what goes on behind the scenes to ensure that work is profitable, marketable, and legal?

In our everyday lives we can see the tangible outcome of impactful design. Everything we use: our phones, our cities, our healthcare, has been thoughtfully designed to improve the quality of our lives. But behind those tangible solutions are the inner workings of creative companies. Not only have they figured out how to solve problems through designing innovative products, but they are creatively designing their own internal business practices as well. At February’s UNITE discussion, our panelists will provide insight as to what goes on behind the scenes and discuss how they use their creative process to improve their own bottom line, public perception, and internal culture.
Spend an evening in conversation to explore the key components behind the business of design. Get your tickets now to this impactful evening of networking, refreshments, and great conversation at the Wayfair headquarters.
