I’m proud that IIDA is an organization of lifelong learners: designers inherently seek the skills and information that will lead them to solutions that make our world better today, and in the future. From our Design Your World program, which introduces high school students to design thinking and learning, to a robust slate of professional education programs, and our new Certified Design Futurist program, IIDA keeps the learning going!
Of course that also includes this issue of Perspective. You’ll hear from one of our dedicated Design Your World instructors, who harnesses his passion for art and design into a curriculum that inspires design’s next generation. And we’ll check in with a pair of mentors and their student designer mentee to hear firsthand about what mentoring at IIDA looks like today. There’s more, of course, so keep an eye on IIDA.org, our social media channels, and the new Perspective members-only newsletter, which brings all the articles in every issue into one place for you to peruse, bookmark, and learn from at your own pace.
I know you’ll enjoy the issue; let us know which article is your favorite, or fill us in on what you’re learning about. We’re curious how you, our members, are continuing to grow!
Read on, stay ever-curious, and keep learning!
