Global Innovation Design (MA)
Marco Miotti
I am a creative with a strong passion for experience and product design. After getting my bachelor degree in industrial and graphic design in Milan, I completed an MA/MSc at the Royal college of Art and Imperial College of London. Driven by curiosity, during my time in GID, I started exploring the intangible world of experience design and how to include some of its principles in my creative process and methodology. Passionate about the concept of co-designing, I focused my last two years in understanding how to empower people in creating a more adventurous and dynamic social-environment while exploiting the potential of collective creativity.
Without playing there is no fun, and without fun there is no design.
To me, this is the essence of being creative. In our discipline, the most spontaneous creations are always the most successful. The trick is understanding how to transform our making into playing.

Tim Brown, CEO at IDEO, suggests that co-designing might be the next big step in which the discipline of design will evolve into. An environment where everyone is empowered to design and create something, and designers assume the role of facilitators. Is it possible to apply this idea to the experiences system? What if we, as designers, could enable people to add to this world by creating their very own experiences to share with others?
