In this workshop, you’ll learn modeling techniques essential for designing services and businesses through the experience of ‘modeling something you love and sharing it with others.’ Your subject matter for this activity can be anything you’re passionate about, whether it’s a video game, board game, anime, or TV series. The key is to be able to enthusiastically and concisely explain ‘what makes it interesting.’

Modeling is a tool I use in creative design, but it can also be seen as a form of information organization. By mastering this skill, you’ll gain the ability to see the big picture, identify new challenges, and soar above the details. Imagine the strength it can add to your design skills and possibilities! With this in mind, I’ve organized this workshop for those who believe in the potential of design. Participants will share the charm of the models they create, providing an opportunity to experience the ease of conveying model-based explanations and receiving feedback from fellow members.”
