By 2020, designers will bring a new level of streamlined simplification to their work in an effort to meet the demands for reduced complexity.

About Design Evolution
Design Evolution engages speakers and audiences from across the professional design spectrum to investigate the future of design. Future, though a broad term, here means the unknown, speculative status of a rapidly evolving profession with multiple possible evolutionary trajectories. Drawing the thoughts, perspective, and insights of individuals from the corporate, academic, and studio worlds, including designers at a variety of points in their individual careers, Design Evolution seeks not answers to but discussion about directions in which the craft and concept of design may grow, contract, or morph in the coming years and decades.
