From Sketches to Startups: ARTX Startup Club Presents "IDEA TO DESIGN" Workshop
Do you have brilliant ideas but struggle to bring them to life? ARTX Startup Club invites art and startup enthusiasts to join our "IDEA TO DESIGN Workshop: Creating Ideas and Product Designs through Sketch Design." This workshop will offer a fresh perspective on using sketching as a powerful tool for developing innovative and commercially valuable products.

This is more than just a drawing class! We will transform "sketching" into a strategic thinking process using the SKD (Sketch  Key  Design) model:
  • Sketch: Rapidly sketch out thoughts and ideas.
  • Key: Select the most promising and essential ideas.
  • Design: Develop the chosen ideas into tangible products or services.
Beyond enhancing creative thinking and visual communication skills, participants will get to work in teams, exchange perspectives with peers from different fields, and receive expert business advice to help them turn their projects into successful ventures.

Meet Our Special Guest Speaker
The workshop will be led by Mr. Tul Lekutai, founder of Pictures Talk and an expert in visual storytelling. With extensive experience in design, marketing, and content creation, he specializes in translating visuals into an easy-to-understand language that can be leveraged for business success.
