How can—and should—designers expand their design strategies through incorporating other fields of study like organizational psychology, technology, education, anthropology, healthcare, and human-centered design? Reflecting on the lessons learned, and changed priorities during the pandemic, IIDA and Mohawk Group gathered deeply engaged designers, creatives, and cross-disciplinary thought leaders for a three-part virtual roundtable focused on optimistic, expansive, and innovative design.
This series focuses on three segments of the design industry-workplace, education, and healthcare-and explores them through the lens of change, adaptation, and creativity. While discussions focus on the future and innovation, they are connected by the through-lines of equity and sustainability, both necessary considerations to achieve better design, and ultimately better lives.
