The lecture by Hector Silva, a prominent industrial designer and educator, focuses on his journey from being an uncertain design student to becoming an influential educator and founder of the nonprofit AdvancedDesign. Silva highlights his experiences of self-doubt and professional missteps, advocating for a design education that prioritizes ethics and real-world relevance. He encourages students to engage with their values and embrace resilience as tools for personal and professional growth, framing his challenges as essential to his success in the design industry.
In this deeply personal lecture, Silva shares his path - from an unpolished design student to an award-winning educator - while challenging the rules of traditional design education.
As he puts it, 'letting the process quiet the uncertainty' carried him through moments of doubt and failure, helping him build confidence, sharpen his skills, and ultimately find his purpose.
