A brilliant final day at The FUTURE Of... DESIGN, where Spencer Buck delivered a thought-provoking keynote, tackling the big question: Is Design Dead? His take? Design isn’t dead—but it is deadly effective when leveraged in the right way. He called out the superficiality of today’s design trends and the widening gap between ‘disruption’ and meaningful, long-term impact. He broke down how brands can move beyond hollow gimmicks to create designs that are distinctive, emotionally resonant, and built for the future. So, is design dead? Not if we push beyond the surface and create unforgettable work that endures. Thank you to David Butler, John Gleason, Fred Richards and Elisabeth Emory for an incredibly insightful few days and for welcoming us as sponsors.
