Gen Z Design
Generation Z is changing the way life is lived, business gets done, and the world is run. Today’s 13–26 year olds have been shaped by a global pandemic, political and social unrest, threats to our environment, and more – and they’re taking it all on. This generation is activated by hope, compassion, and conviction to make change happen. And they’ve got the ideas to back it up.
