What is Shifting Design?

Shifting Design is a free summit brought to you by the Design Team at Deputy. We’re passionate about connecting with, learning from and giving back to the incredible Design & Tech Communities. The summit will take place virtually over four days either via Zoom Panels or Instagram Lives with @designingdeputy and guests.

What can I expect at Shifting Design?

You can expect to learn from an incredible line up of designers and leaders. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, engage with and connect with like-minded people across the world. We’ll be uploading content and resources after the event for those who couldn’t make it.
