Conceptual Thinker
Royal London
May 2013 - Jun 2013 (1 month)
Blog by Royal London member about my work and the project: http://grandnat.co.uk/design/
I recently collaborated with GSA students in a 'Blue Sky Thinking Workshop' for Royal London Insurance. As a team I designed insurance products and services which increase the level of trust and engagement between Royal London and their members.
This workshop involved researching the theme of insurance and the Royal London Insurance Company, then focusing on concept generation around the themes of life, health, business and home insurance. I went on to refine the best concepts and communicate them graphically with my team, ultimately pitching them to members of Royal London.
