In-person event

From September 1st to 5th, Merino will visit some of the most renowned universities in both countries that offer programs related to the creative industries sector. 
Food Design: Edible Creativity 
Food design is probably one of the most exciting and unknown topics in the design world. It is a creative and technical work process where each of its design phases focuses on the creation and development of a food product, system, or experience

A successful food product isn't just about its flavor; it also plays a role in its communication, visual identity, packaging, and the point-of-sale experience. Incorporating the design process methodology into this sector is increasingly necessary and adds value to products that consumers demand.
