On the 28th of November, L’Ecole de design Nantes Atlantique has celebrated its first anniversary in China.

About 100 visitors came and listened to the conferences and enjoyed the cocktail party all along the afternoon and evening at BAU-Brearley Architects and Urbanists studio on Fuxing road, Shanghai.

Philipp Michel from PAE Design Talent opened the ceremony and explained to the students what were the keys to find a good design job in China and elsewhere. Philipp Michel used to work for the famous recruitment company Michael Page. He now leads a Beijing based recruitment company specialised in design and creative jobs.
