Today we go live with IDSA’s Executive Director Chris Livaudais! His passion for design education and outreach within the community led him to a position on the board of the Atlanta Chapter of IDSA for the past eight years. He earned a short school certificate in experience design in 2012 from Domus Academy and a bachelor's degree in industrial design from Auburn University. At IDSA's 2016 International Conference in Detroit, Livaudais spoke on Objects that Talk Back. We had a great conversation about design education, the evolution and future of IDSA, and meaningful relationships. Thank you Chris and IDSA for always supporting what we do! Please follow Chris’ design work and journey on Instagram under the handle @givinggravity.
