Talking Design, Technology, and Demystifying Creativity With David Funkhouser & SoDA Series Live

Thoughts July 19, 2024

Funkhaus Design Principal David Funkhouser gave a talk on design trends and the art of demystifying creativity as part of SoDA Series Live, which features discussions with design leaders from digital agencies around the world as part of a collaboration between The Society of Digital Agencies and Adobe.

In the talk, Dave shares his thoughts on the future of design and technology, including insight on navigating the evolving landscape, creating compelling visuals, and balancing the efficiency of AI with the passion and tactile experience of traditional design.

“Iterations, happy accidents, and the daily craft of design all build creative instinct,” says Dave. “As far as AI as part of the design landscape, I foresee a reaction to it in the future, with people wanting more hand-crafted digital. Much like it did during the Arts & Crafts movement, I think the pendulum will swing back in that direction after all the AI rage settles down.”
