Design Transforms is a lecture series from the Product, Ceramic and Industrial Design programme at Central Saint Martins, where expert practitioners are invited to share their thoughts on the idea of transformation examined through the lens of their work.

Anne Asensio is Vice President of Design Experience at Dassault Systèmes and a Regional Advisor to the World Design Organisation (WDO). At Dassault Systèmes, she established the company’s design discipline and design research department, founding DESIGNStudio to unite a multidisciplinary team working across innovation strategy, experience design, design research and design management.

Collaborating with designers, artists, maverick thinkers and innovators across industry and public sectors, Anne explores alternative pathways toward more sustainable and desirable futures.
