Design for Business Team

The Design for Business team is made up of staff at V&A Dundee in collaboration with industry experts. Their cumulative experience offers course participants the very best in Design Thinking.

Strategic Lead, Lynne Martin

Having spent over a decade working across various roles in Scotland's economic development ecosystem, Lynne has come to the conclusion that if we want to develop the economy, or organisations of any size, we have to develop people first. She believes that collaboration, kindness, fast failure and learning from it are fundamental to solving the problems society faces in the 21st century; and that when mindfully applied, Design Thinking is a valuable approach that allows people to problem solve and develop key skills while doing it. She has seen first-hand the power that design thinking methods and the mindset they encourage has on people and organisations, and is excited about Scotland's future as a country that puts design at the heart of innovation.
