Debate: Design needs a saviour
Does design need a white knight or are we prematurely worrying? Are we actually meeting the demands of our evolving industry?
In our unconventional debate, moderated by Trudi Boatwright — seasoned experiential designer and advocate for creativity through play — we delve into the polarising topic: "Design need saving vs Design is fine" Sue Izmir, a strategist passionate about sustainable and socially innovative design, and Brad Alphonso, a proponent of human-centered design methodologies, will bring their diverse experiences to the table.
Together, they'll explore the current landscape of design, questioning its efficacy, ethics, and impact.
Through this discourse, we aim to uncover if the design community needs to re-evaluate its direction and methods or if the existing paradigms continue to serve our evolving world adequately.
