No Borders 2025 - Design in the Wild
Background
New Zealand designers taking on the world.
Good design transcends barriers and many New Zealand designers have made the brave and uncertain move onto a global stage.
International exposure can be life-changing; a chance to develop a career, undertake a personal journey and develop a wider, global perspective.
What drives these inquisitive and ambitious creative talents?
At No Borders, they return home to share what they have learned.
No Borders is the stories of those New Zealand designers who've stepped out into the world and are making it work.
Design in the Wild - Luke Scott
In this ever changing world, designers are uniquely placed to bring about the future we want to see. Our job is often to stand in the void between the known and the unknown.
But how do we navigate this abyss?
What are the tools we need to be comfortable in ambiguity?
Luke Scott is a Digital Design Director with over a decade of experience designing brands, products and digital experiences. Working at the intersection of brand and product he combines systems thinking and user centred design with craft and storytelling to create unique experiences that drive positive impact for people and planet.
Previously at Alt Group and fresh back home from a three year stint in London, working with studios like How&How and Koto.
Luke will share learnings and musing on designing in the wild.
Reflecting on how designers are so well placed to thrive in this amorphous world and how it’s our job to not just prototype the future but to lead others towards it.
