A career in design used to be predictable: you learned a craft, found a niche, and sat at a desk until the work was done. But that tidy definition is fraying.
The map has been redrawn. Studios are no longer bound by geography, but exist across borders and cultures. Simultaneously, our relationship with “making” is evolving; between sustainable production and new technologies, we’ve realised that how a thing is made is just as vital as the final result.
Most notably, our roles have become more indistinct yet pervasive. In this expanded field, we’ve traded traditional layouts for AI prompts, interactive systems and public services. We are becoming essential translators, using design to align people and communicate across disciplines.
The old models are gone. What are we building in their place?
For the second edition of Form_Flux_Futures, the School of Design Communication at LASALLE College of the Arts explores our new “Models of Work.”
All events are free and open to the public.
