Lecture recordings will be made available for educational purposes to the CCA community on Panopto.

The Design Lecture Series reflects CCA Design’s commitment to being a sanctuary for emerging voices and diverse practices. Each semester we host an impressive roster of thinkers and practitioners who expand our idea of what design is and what design can do.

CCA invites you to engage with creators driving change across design fields forging limitless possibilities for a more just, sustainable, and diverse future with their purpose-driven practice. These innovative risk-takers utilize yesterday's artifacts, today’s tools, and tomorrow’s breakthroughs to speculate design for an adaptive world to delight generations to come.

In these conversations, our guest lecturers highlight the responsibility designers hold to the present and for what lies ahead; they discuss crafting from a human-centered approach to foster a future more inclusive of all realities and share their findings from their investigations. The future-facing thinkers ask us to share an existence crafted by practitioners of all design disciplines committed to inclusive actions, and imaginative solutions backed by data-driven results, with sustainability steeped into every step of the journey.

We hope you'll join us for these critical conversations.
