About the talk
Beyond Specialization: Why Designers Must Evolve.
In a world of accelerating complexity and rapid change, specialization alone is no longer enough for designers. To stay relevant, they must evolve into V-shaped generalists — combining deep expertise with broad, adaptable skills to tackle today’s interconnected challenges. This talk explores why designers must reskill in business and technology, adopt practical problem-solving approaches, and embrace AI as a collaborative partner.
