This curriculum bridges the gap between traditional industrial design education and the fluid, often unpredictable realities of creative careers. It equips students and early-career designers with reflective, iterative tools for navigating identity shifts, job transitions, and evolving opportunities in a rapidly changing industry. Through career-mapping, self-inquiry, and speculative future-building, the course reframes uncertainty as a designable challenge. Aligning with the 2025 theme “Where Legacy Meets Future,” it honors design’s core methodologies while preparing participants to engage creatively and strategically with emerging disruptions, including AI, layoffs, and shifting professional roles, with resilience, adaptability, and intentionality.
