Flip the Script - OTT DESIGN CLUB 0017
When things don't go as planned, do you see a setback or an opportunity? Creativity often thrives when things get messy, surprising, or even a bit frustrating. The trick is knowing how to turn those tricky moments into your greatest strengths.
Join us for 
Flip the Script
, an evening where our speakers will share real stories about flipping challenges into creative wins. You'll hear about unexpected detours, bold pivots, and how turning situations on their head led to surprising breakthroughs. They'll show you that even when you're backed into a corner, there's always another angle to explore.
Whether you're navigating creative roadblocks, pivoting your approach, or just curious about turning setbacks into comebacks, this night will inspire you to see your creative journey differently. Because sometimes the best move is to flip the script.
