2026 Design Industry Speakers - 4 Design Fields

Design industry professionals from the four design fields - Messages, Interactive Experiences, Environments and Objects speak to the Unit 3 Outcome 1 Professional Design Practice  Key Knowledge and Skills.

Students will be inspired by and learn about the design process of a Graphic Designer/Illustrator, Game Designer/Software Developer, Architect and Tableware Designer/Ceramicist. In addition to the recordings, the resource includes worksheets to guide student note-taking and support their preparations for the assessment. 

Thank you to all who attended this year’s conference, held once again at NGV International in the wonderful Clemenger Auditorium. We focused on the Object Design field of Design Practice and enjoyed keynote presentations by Grazia Materia of grazia&co and Industry Speaker Philippe Guichard. These presentations provided insight into the professional practices and design philosophies of these talented practitioners, with much food for thought regarding copyright, Australian manufacturing, the significance of innovation and prototyping during the design process.
