Ottawa Design Club #0019 - Morph

Morphing is not instant. It’s the slow shedding of one form to make space for another, a transition that reshapes you in ways both visible and invisible.

Join us for Morph on November 6, an evening of stories about change in motion. Our speakers will share what it means to step out of the familiar, endure the in-between, and emerge transformed.

You’ll hear about the courage to let go, the uncertainty of being in flux, and the discoveries that only happen when you allow yourself to become something new.

Whether you are in the middle of a shift or sensing one ahead, this night is a reminder that transformation is not just an ending but a beginning.
