“At BDF, we believe world-class design talks (and workshops) should be accessible to everyone – we've been doing this for years with our Festival and other events in Brum - so when the opportunity came to bring some of our BDF spirit and speakers to students in a University setting, and one as beautiful as Falmouth, it was a no-brainer.”
“There’s a lot of bangers on our screens every day, but less of how the sausage gets made.”
