Julie Anne Gilleland is a designer who works with learning and educational concepts. She developed Think with Things, a strategy to let us learn things hands on, through playing with everyday objects. She’ll talk about getting back some of the qualities we all had as a child: playfulness, imagination, questioning, an ‘anything is possible’ attitude… and of course curiosity! She’ll get us warmed up for a new season of CreativeMornings, and will surely get us thinking.

In 2007, she started Turtlewings, a non-profit for educators, children and families to explore design thinking. In 2014, she set up Think with Things, which was proposed as one of the best Edtech companies in Europe. But the step was a bit too large… She took some time to reconfigure and is relaunching Think with Things in a new version as we speak!
