The Designer’s Code of Ethics: Good for You, Good for Your Clients, Good for Everyone
I was invited to speak at the kick-off of the magnificent Luxembourg Design Festival on November 12, 2025, to discuss the genesis of the professional designer’s code of ethics created by the Alliance France Design. A meaningful symbol! During the event, I essentially said that “ethics is good for business.” After three inspiring days of festival and a festive Awards ceremony, I’d like to expand on that idea here.
Looking Back at the National Convention of Art and Design Schools, Marseille 2025
From November 4 to 7, 2025, I had the honor of being invited to the Assises nationales des écoles d’art et de design(National Convention of Art and Design Schools), organized by ANdÉA and hosted by the Beaux-Arts de Marseille, to represent the Alliance France Design. This event, marking the association’s 30th anniversary, gathered the entire French art and design education ecosystem around the theme “Tomorrow’s Art School: Horizon 2050.”
