IDSA Ohio Presents: Blurred Lines 5.0 | Industrial Design x Engineering
We're exploring the rich intersections between industrial design and other disciplines through Blurred Lines 5.0, an event series co-hosted by the Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati chapters of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).
This year, we’re diving into one of the most critical (and sometimes chaotic) collaborations in the product development process: Design and Engineering
In this virtual event, we’ll unpack the tools, mindsets, and communication strategies that empower industrial designers to work more effectively with our colleagues in engineering. Whether you're navigating the handoff between design and development, co-creating with engineers from day one, or simply looking to deepen your technical fluency, this session is designed to help you enhance your ID career and improve your collaboration and communication skills.
💡 What to Expect:
Real-world insights from designers and engineers who’ve built successful cross-functional partnerships
Practical advice for how to grow your technical skills
Tips and tools to bridge communication gaps and align on shared goals
Interactive Q&A to tackle your toughest collaboration challenges
Let’s get blurry together!
