Design Pivots & Pathways

For the second year running Design Pivots & Pathways took place at Bath Spa University – an inspiring and collaborative event bringing together Architecture, Interior Design and Product Design students, alumni, and industry professionals to explore creative careers and the unexpected routes they can take.

The event started with guest speakers and a panel discussion. Professional designers Simon Hamilton, Sebastian Bergne and Craig White shared pivotal moments that shaped their careers. Honest, inspiring stories of unexpected challenges, new opportunities, and the lessons learned along the way.


The afternoon continued with ‘Themed Design Sprints’ An opportunity for current students, alumni and speakers to roll up their sleeves and get creative! Work collaboratively to tackle small design challenges. With the clock ticking, creativity was key! Lastly an evening networking event rounded the day off with additional industry professionals and entrepreneurs enjoying refreshments and meaningful conversation.
