A bimonthly event in Sheffield where we invite speakers from around the country to come and talk about their experiences in research and design projects.

Priceless Projects: Insights from a year of R&D work

Working on R&D projects is really important to Paper, a Sheffield-based user research and design studio. In fact, the company was created around this key principle. Jon talk about how this has led to designing and building a chatbot, spending time working with local businesses and charities, and creating a community-driven mentorship event.
