Design Nerds Anonymous Podcast 

The Gen Z Season, Episode 01 Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss how Gen Z designers are changing the way we communicate and collaborate in the workplace, the biggest shifts shaping the future of work for the good (and bad), and what post-pandemic grads are overcoming to learn the ropes in a hybrid setting.

We’ll also hear from Brett Shwery, director of interiors for AECOM, on his research about college graduates transitioning into the corporate world (see white paper here). He shares the latest findings, explains how corporations can take cues from collegiate design to ease that transition into workspace, and shares what firms like AECOM are looking for in the next generation of talent.

Highlights from this Episode

• Discover the ways Gen Z designers are using technology to collaborate with colleagues and clients.
• Hear why the physical work environment is still important — but may not be the most important factor for recent graduates entering the workforce.
• Find out how why Gen Z designers have a more inclusive and collaborative approach to work, and how this is reflected in the way they design and work with others.
• Learn what our experts think is the key to navigating career shifts in the future.
• Discover the one thing and designers should focus on when building their career paths — and why it’s NOT future-proofing their work.
