Hector Silva founded a design education nonprofit called Advanced Design that, since 2016, has exploded. Their programming seeks to disrupt professional development in the field of industrial design, and if you have designers on staff, chances are they’ve heard the name before. It’s working.

Hosts Dave Franchino and Stefanie Norvaisas chat with Hector about:

• The gap between design education and real-world practice
• How design has changed from “form giving” to strategic weapon
• Mental health and diversity in the design industry
