, Vice President, Group Director of Trends


Description
By immersing yourself in global and socio-cultural influences, you can identify the forces, explore the movements, and uncover the insights that drive emerging consumer behavior, preparing you for how the future will remake your role as a designer.  What's most important to consider is not the paradigm shifts themselves, but to think about their implications and then strategize for those impending changes.
 
The objective of this presentation is not accuracy, but to provoke thoughtful action and a manifestation of a better future. How will you adapt or evolve to fill the new role the future has in mind for you if...
