Melbourne Professional Design Anthropology
The Melbourne Professional Design Anthropology Meetup brings together professional Design Anthropologists for networking, discussions, presentations and workshops. Design Anthropology is about how design translates (human) values into tangible experiences. DAnthros have to understand values, strategize design, and transform experiences. We learn from each other and visiting experts on how to transform our work places through the principles and practices of Design Anthropology.
