The world of design is changing at rapid speed. Customer expectations of convergent brand and product experiences are higher than ever before, and businesses are increasingly defined by their ability to bring stellar experiences to market. As this is happening, design is also taking a leading role in emerging mainstream cultures, and is increasingly seen a tool for societal impact and disruption globally.
As we navigate this current state of flux, Andreas will help frame the current state of design, discuss some of the key trends defining our industry today, explain how design has evolved over the past five decades, and help anticipate future scenarios we might experience as designers, in the coming years.
