We Are Evolving

 

IDSA has embarked on a bold and progressive transformation. We stand at a moment in time where nearly every aspect of the Society is under increasing pressure for time and attention from people like you. While these trends are certainly not new, the way in which IDSA must respond to them is. This position demands that IDSA think critically and creatively about how we deliver a meaningful membership experience to you as a member, as well as for our extended community of designers across the country.

 

Women & Design: Building Diversity in Industrial Design

It’s no secret that industrial design is still a boy’s club. Statistics differ from source to source, but there seems to be a general agreement that women make up somewhere between 10–15 percent of industrial designers.

Somehow, industrial design has been left behind.

IDSA-OHC Taboo Schmaboo

On November 3rd, IDSA OHC will be hosting a multi-disciplinary event exploring how design breaks down stigmas and barriers. As designers, we see every day how our work benefits those who have otherwise been left behind due to social stigmas and taboos. Adult incontincence, sexuality, disability, and menstruation are all topics that society steers away from - and we want to change that.
