Inside the Studio: Student Work & Design in Action

About the Event

Curious about what it’s really like to study design in our program? Wondering what kind of work our students create and how design makes an impact in the world?

Join us for "Inside the Studio," a special behind-the-scenes webinar where we spotlight current student projects and class work from across our design program. This is your chance to see the creativity, thinking, and skills that go into the kind of design we teach — and the many ways it can be applied in real-world contexts.

You’ll hear directly from students and faculty as they walk you through their processes, the tools they use, and the ideas that drive their work. This session will show you how design is much more than making things look good and is more about solving problems, telling stories, and shaping experiences.

What You'll Experience:

• A showcase of real student projects across different classes and media
• An introduction to the types of design we focus on in our program
• Insights into our creative process, classroom culture, and collaborative environment
• Examples of how design is used in diverse industries and communities
• Live Q&A with students and faculty

Who Should Attend:

Prospective students, curious creatives, or anyone exploring a future in design

See what’s possible when design meets purpose — and how you can be part of it.

About the Institute of Design (ID)

The Institute of Design (ID), known for introducing the world to human-centered design and systems design, is an international resource for strategic designers, leaders, and changemakers who want to do better and face the future with a plan. Visionary László Moholy-Nagy founded ID in 1937 as The New Bauhaus. Eighty-eight years later we continue to advance the study and use of design from our Chicago home, the Illinois Institute of Technology Mies van der Rohe campus. At ID—our Graduate School, Action Labs, and Executive Academy—we believe in rigorous creativity and rapid iteration, and we believe anyone can learn to use design to transform the systems that shape our lives.
