The complex environmental and social challenges of today demand creative, collaborative approaches. With design practices spreading across society (Dorst, 2015), designers play an essential role in building bridges between divergent interests, stakeholder groups and needs for a future-proof planet. This relative uncertainty regarding emerging jobs, industries, and environments requires a higher level of flexibility and designers have accepted this challenge, by progressively embracing such plurality of roles. Thus, designers’ identity has undergone a transition from the solo artist to collaborative linchpin working with and moving between several stakeholder groups.
