What does it take for a young designer to be successful? Whether for running their own graphic design or animation studio, founding their own fashion label or working as an employee, future designers need market and entrepreneurial skills to succeed and realise their goals.

The Business to Design (B2D) educational programme was created with involvement of prominent professionals and entrepreneurs in the field, MOME alumni, as well as invited international speakers. Its originality lies in it forming part of the curriculum and being a mandatory subject for all BA students.

What do prehistoric cave animal art and our daily changing Instagram stories have in common? Even the first attempts to make still pictures move were motivated by the same basic human need as all visual narratives constructed by us ever since – the need to tell a story as fully as possible.
