Designing the Future by Redesigning our Roles
The future of the design industry as we currently know it is at risk with the rise of technology that renders jobs, roles, and processes obsolete. The counterpoint is also true, where the status-quo is hindering change for the greater good. What does the future look like for designers in this new era of profound and rapid change? What is the true value of design when practiced by humans and machines? Can we create a new path forward that merges the best of humanity, nature, and technology? This talk will explore and expand the role of “Designer” within this context, as the future will need Eco Hackers, JEDI Facilitators, Tech Synthesizers, and Experience Makers.
