On April 29, I had the pleasure of leading the inaugural Catalyst Series session for ArcticTurn (https://arcticturn.in/).
Designed exclusively for the Luxury & Design Management Paris 2026 Cohort, my mastertalk—“How to Observe, Dissect and Absorb Paris like an Industry Professional”—focused on shifting from a tourist perspective to a professional design lens.
Key Takeaways:
Strategic Observation: Identifying the intersection of heritage and innovation in Parisian luxury.
The Design Scientist Approach: Using structured inquiry to "dissect" urban aesthetics and retail ecosystems.
Professional Immersion: Transforming cultural experiences into actionable design insights.
It was an honor to help prepare this talented cohort for their immersion in France. A big thank you to the ArcticTurn team for hosting such a forward-thinking initiative.
