Tech on Toast is free and there are no tickets required.

We'll be serving a range of breakfast options in a relaxed environment and all are welcome, regardless of technical background.

Design Thinking Dad: Why I Take My Creative Work Home

by Paul Bailey

Paul Bailey is a UX Consultant, a bit of a geek and a full time human maker (father of 4).

Over the last year he's been on a transformational personal journey — from a 'Designer' trapped by waterfall delivery, to a 'Design Thinker' working in a fast-paced agile environment.

In November’s Tech on Toast, he'll share his story and show how, armed with only an abundant supply of post-it notes, he's used Design Thinking at work to empower creative teams and in his personal life to tackle the everyday challenges of being a parent.

While you enjoy a free coffee and breakfast he'll answers questions like:

How do you collaborate to create awesome experiences?    

What skills will you need to thrive in the 4th industrial revolution?

And perhaps most importantly, how should you respond when kids ask "are we nearly there yet?"
