Daedalus President Matt Beale will be presenting at the IDSA Central District Design Conference today.
His talk, So Many Choices: Navigating a Changing Discipline, draws from his personal experience as a business owner, practitioner, and educator; interviews with students and professionals; and research into industrial design and analogous professions to help designers better understand the implications of fragmentation and change in their chosen profession. Joining Matt in presenting at the conference will be Sean Hughes, Vice President & Chief Design Officer Healthcare, Philips Design; Mark Ciesko, Manager, Americas Studio, GE Healthcare; Justin Coble, Industrial Design Manager, Mars Chocolate North America; Christopher M. Coburn, Executive Director, Cleveland Clinic Innovations; Damon Jurkiewicz, Senior Industrial Designer, Concept Engineering, Invacare Corp. North America; and Ji Kim, Director, Global Design, Moen Inc. For more on Matt’s talk, see thinking.is.
