the focus

The design world is in motion. Ever-evolving, mesmerizing, perplexing.

AIGA Houston brings together the region’s most creative minds to examine the shift—the shift in design careers, shift in design craft and the shift in industries powering design. Through panel discussions and speaker presentations we’re exploring the evolution of the design industry and the constantly shifting role of designers as design disciplines expand, overlap, and converge. Design leaders and educators will unpack the design shift and discuss how collaboration across disciplines is shaping the future of design.
