Christina Park

Are you searching for an engaging speaker to run design thinking workshops?

As an avid panelist, instructor, and facilitator, I specialize in delivering dynamic sessions that engage audiences and spark creativity. Whether it's laying the foundations of user experience design or leading interactive workshops and insightful lectures, I bring design expertise and enthusiasm to every engagement. 

I offer a range of talks to design and non-design audiences. As a design thinking expert, I provide hands-on guidance using design thinking methodologies to solve complex problems. Explore my extensive teaching and speaking experiences on this page to see how I can bring value to your next event.
