Unlock Your Creative Potential with Multidisciplinary Design Skills
At Nollie Design, we empower you to master the diverse range of transferable design skills through our innovative 12-principle framework.
From Leonardo Da Vinci to the Bauhaus, we see time and time again that multidisciplinary creative skills drive innovation. But what made these designers so multi-talented?
Join us in exploring the intersection of creativity and functionality, inspired by legendary design movements. We’ll look at design from a holistic perspective.
While most design resources zoom in on one specialty, we zoom out and show you how these creative different fields interact with each other.
We’re here to show you a holistic approach to creativity, and show you why being a “Jack of All Trades” is much better than being a “One Trick Pony.”
Multidisciplinary Design isn’t anything new. We’re teaching old school design principles, evolved for a modern age.
Learn a Holistic Set of Design Skills
We demonstrate Design’s transferable skills using The Polymathic Design Principles framework empowering you to master diverse disciplines.
Learning From Past Masters
Learn from Multidisciplinary Designers
Design history is filled with creative individuals who worked across multiple fields. From the Bauhaus to Eames to Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
With today’s tools and technology, what can we learn from them?
Understanding Aesthetics
Visual Design
Every designer can benefit from learning Visual Design, from colour theory to composition. Especially when it comes to your portfolio!
Learn Visual Design principles that can then be applied to your other creative projects.
Design for the Human Form
Textile Design
We design for people, and they come in all different shapes and sizes.
By learning from Textile Design, we can understand how to design around the human form.
Storytelling & Attention
Animation
If a picture tells 1000 words, then an animation can tell a million.
From storytelling to understanding complex problems, using animation helps convey your ideas in an engaging way that captures attention.
Using Your Materials
Ceramics
Like a chef needs to know their ingredients, a designer needs to understand their materials.
Your material selection can change the outcome of your projects. One field where we can learn this skill is Ceramics.
Design & Possession
Metalwork
How would you create an item designed to be treasured?
We can take cues from Metalwork. Think of an engagement ring, how do you create an object that connects with people emotionally?
Learning From Nature
Biomimicry & Sustainability
Lets face it, the planet is doomed. As designers, we can influence the change needed to turn things around.
If we are problem solvers, we can take inspiration from nature to influence the impact of our designs.
Design for Interaction
UX and VR Design
The way we interact with digital technology is changing constantly. But we can understand the ways that people interact with your design.
How can you create interactive designs that are easy for people to use?
Mood & Lighting
Lighting Design
Lighting plays a huge influence on our emotions. For example, a dark room can feel scary when a bright room feels comforting.
How can we use Lighting Design to improve people’s moods?
Designing for Quantity
Industrial Design
As designers we need to know how to put our designs out into the world. That often requires production.
Learn how to manufacture multiple versions of your designs and put your ideas into production.
Environment & Spatial Design
Interior Design
Design is everywhere. Even in the room you’re reading this in right now. How do we make them functional?
Learn how you can put your creative stamp on the spaces and environments around you.
The Future of Design
Looking at AI and the Future of Design
Right now the world is changing rapidly. It’s left many designers feeling lost. But these new tools offer a new opportunity.
We’ll show you how to navigate your career now that Artificial Intelligence is a part of our lives… for better or worse.
