From sustainability to legacy, these voices are challenging design to evolve—with purpose. At IDC 2025, David J. Byron of Sundberg-Ferar will explore what it means to carry the weight of legacy forward. In his keynote, Heritage Meets Horizon, David considers how long-standing firms can lead change without losing their identity. Farrell M. Calabrese (FMC IMPACT) and Lew Epstein (Lot21) will co-lead a powerful conversation on The Future of Sustainability Design—bringing climate advocacy, creative leadership, and real-world business strategy to the forefront. And rounding out this group is Stephan Clambaneva, IDSA WDO Managing Director at PARK USA. A mentor and strategist with experience across industries, Stephan brings a global view to design’s role in shaping more circular, more responsible systems. Conversations like these define the kind of future we want to build. #IDC2025 #DesignLeadership #DesignConference #DesignWithPurpose
Love this!
I really appreciate this opportunity to share the stage at this year’s IDC where so many creatives are coming together for the 60th anniversary of IDSA, in the city of design, in the state of design, taking place at the premier design school, CCS (juuuust a little homegrown pride here lol) to take a moment and reflect, reimagine and refocus our industry on what’s next. Can’t wait!
I could not be more excited to be a part of this important discussion & evolution. ✨ As a member of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA)’s inaugural Circular Design Council with Lew Epstein, Shujan Bertrand and Chaired by Jason P. Belaire, IDSA — we know intentional small changes can make a big impact. #circulardesign
