Deep in Design

IDSA Career Center

IDSA is debuting an exciting new way for designers of all experience levels to get the boost they need to start a career; transition to a higher or new position; solidify their skills; and much more. The IDSA Career Center will premiere at the IDSA International Conference 2016.

Pushing Boundaries

“Today more than ever, industrial designers are in a unique position to facilitate a change in the world. Our role as advocates of the user and their needs leaves us with a great opportunity to create powerful product experiences that push the boundaries currently defined.”

—Tanner Wills, IDSA, IDSA West District Student Merit Award Winner

Changing the Game

“This is really about changing the game. About delivering an iconic brand. Ultimately a health and wellness promise that is really changing the category," says Bryan Shova, IDSA, Kaleidoscope's industrial design director and 2016 IDSA International Conference speaker, about new packaging developed for a brand of milk that has 100 days of shelf life. “We wanted to form a structure that honors milk, knows what it is, but begins to dig deeper and answer why is it different?
