On Monday, June 14th, IIDA, The International Interior Design Association, held a forum: Rethinking, Redefining, and Reinventing Our Work to discuss how designers can stay ahead of the game. Nine designers from all sectors of the design industry joined together to share advice on how to stay on top of the market. Main themes include
- communication including the use of social media (facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter)
- visionary attitude, create a concept and develop the means to carryout that concept
- creator of change
- know regulations and standards, rules and guidelines
- global thinking
- differentiate yourself
It was interesting to hear designers from government, education, corporate, healthcare and other designers throughout the U.S. share their strategies as they face change in their workplaces. Their inspiring and encouraging attitudes helped kick-start a successful Neocon.
