What is Design and Make?
A convergence of technologies and methodologies in industries that produce digital and built assets over the past 40-plus years has resulted in a distinct category of work: Design and Make. Design and Make shapes the surrounding world, translating complex ideas into powerful experiences, whether it’s transforming a sketch into a school, turning a concept into a car, or making a myth into a movie. Globally, Design and Make employs, conservatively, 295.7 million people.
Before digitalization, much of this work took place in discrete, siloed phases, handed off from specialist to specialist. With the advent of digital workspaces and modeling tools, these phases have converged into a centralized way of working informed by data-driven insights. Today, teams collaborating on Design and Make projects see their work as part of a larger, interconnected process. Digital tools and standards make it easier to map interdependencies, refine processes, and democratize solutions.
For the professionals immersed in it every day, Design and Make is more than a way of working—it’s a philosophy and a mindset. It represents a deep belief that every challenge and complexity can be overcome with the right tools and the right skill set. Designers and makers are optimists united by a shared drive to make a better world for all.
