In a year filled with unexpected challenges, Kyoorius Designyatra 2020 stood as a shining beacon of inspiration, even in the face of a global pandemic. Due to the circumstances, the event took place virtually on 3rd and 4th December 2020, and it served as a powerful reminder to the design community to discover and embrace their unique voices.
Find Your Voice
Your voice is the key to incredible creative work. Something that’s authentically ‘you’ has the power to inspire others and bring about change. To open eyes, drop jaws and touch souls.
And this is especially true today – faced with a future none were prepared for, we are faced with creating impact through design to truly differentiate and stand out.
