Bridging the Gap: from the classroom to the design industry

Join us for a night of panel discussion and casual conversations around the different paths of professional designers, and the realities of working in industry. Hear from designers from IBM iX, Schiavello and more, gain insights into their practice, and learn from their design journeys as you plan your next career step.
