The manifesto for DesignThinkers 2025 in Vancouver is: “Design is a force. One that shapes how we see the world. With every choice, we hold the power to break barriers, challenge convention and shift perspectives. But not if we don’t question our own.” These words promise to embrace “shift” in the graphic design industry.
