In the third episode of our Industrial Design Futures series, host Ian Chalmers speaks with industrial designer, professor and author Job Rutgers. They discuss the approach to industrial design education at OCAD university in Toronto, the effects of AI on designers, and the ways in which the definition of industrial design is evolving.

He is creative director with OCADU CO, the executive education arm of the university that trains enterprises in futures, systems thinking, and design thinking.
