"Turn Stress into Inspiration"
💚 What does Gaudí’s art have in common with an overwhelmed designer? After mentoring 50+ designers across 20+ countries, one thing is clear:
Stress is just a signal, not a setback.
In her talk "Turn Stress into Inspiration", Eva will share how challenges, when met with clarity and intention, fuel authentic creative growth.
This isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about growing better. 🍀
Join her and explore together what really fuels creative growth.

"Pink"
This talk explores the evolving symbolism of the colour pink across different cultures and time periods, using historical and contemporary examples to trace its shifting meanings. From masculinity to femininity, rebellion to conformity, pink has worn many faces—each shaped by cultural intent. At its core, the discussion delves into how intention influences interpretation, reminding us that meaning is rarely fixed, but intended.
