SAY NO TO FREE DESIGN – WHY IT MATTERS

Your design has value. It’s time to own it.

Whether you’re a student just starting out or a seasoned creative, this one-day workshop invites you to rethink how you value your craft — and how the world should too.

Hosted at the Faculty of Creative Multimedia, MMU Cyberjaya, Say No to Free Design – Why It Matters gathers designers, educators, and industry leaders for a day of honest conversations, hands-on activities, and practical tools to help you protect and price your work with confidence.
