…Today, things are very different. Thanks to the still-booming Silicon Valley, interaction and user-experience designers have been added to the mix, but those aren\u2019t the only opportunities for design thinkers. Even graduates of non-traditional programs can embark on exciting design careers. To wit, here are five disciplines that didn\u2019t even exist at IDEO a few years ago. <\/p>\n
1. The Designer Coder
\nPrototyping has always been a critical part of design, but in today’s online, app-based economy, the preferred prototyping medium is increasingly code. Designers who can also code possess a powerful set of tools. There are thousands of positions open to those who have the skills to conceive new ideas and the ability to launch them quickly into market.<\/p>\n
2. The Design Entrepreneur…
\n3. The Hybrid Design Researcher…
\n4. The Business Designer…
\n5. The Social Innovator….<\/p>\n
These are just a handful of exciting new design careers I\u2019ve witnessed as of late. Given the urgent, complex challenges our world faces, expect more. Better yet, if you\u2019re a young graduate or looking to change careers, ask yourself:
\nHow might I apply my unique talents to design challenges?
\nWho knows, maybe next year, I might be writing about you.
\nWhat other unlikely skill sets do you think could advance design innovation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
