Identifying and celebrating our best design talent
Thank you to these design practitioners and educators who volunteer their time to serve as judges of this year’s Student Merit Awards and Education Papers programs. Each judge is responsible for reviewing a considerable amount of content in the process of making their scores and selections. Their dedication and commitment towards identifying and celebrating the next generation of design talent is an invaluable resource to our community. The group below includes all members of IDSA’s 2022-2023 Education Council.
The 2023 jury group is led by IDSA’s Education Director, Verena Paepcke-Hjeltness, Assistant Professor – Industrial Design at Iowa State University.
