Lecture Theatre WS114,
AUT School of Design,
St Paul St, Auckland
Managing Director of Frog Design in Milan, Thomas Sutton (CV) is currently in New Zealand and we thought it would be a great opportunity to get him to talk about his design career in the EU. Tom graduated from Victoria University in the mid 90's and after a brief stint at Te Papa during the building he emigrated to Italy to try his luck in the EU.
He worked at Design Continuum before moving on to Flextronics establishing their industrial design department in Milan. After Flex bought Frog Tom started the Frog Design office in Milan. He has built this into a team of more than 20 designers over the last four years.
Throughout Toms career he has worked on numerous Medical R&D projects and is the chair of Frogs Medical Devices group globally. Tom will be talking about his fascinating whitepaper "Innovation and Control" which navigates the complexities of designing in the high regulated medical domain.
The talk will be held on the 27th of August at AUT.
