About
Shifting Gears: The adapting role of the designer in an ever-changing industry - past, present and future.Panel discussion: How has the role of the designer changed over the past decade and what can we expect it to look like in another 10 years?

From a focus on physical to interactive and dynamic state-based digital formats, the fundamental skills of the designer have rapidly changed. How has the designer adapted to this shift? This discussion will delve into the ever-changing role of the designer in the studio environment, how the panellists have witnessed the role evolve, and where they believe the next area of focus for designers will be.
