Thrilled to have virtually joined the World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024 “ Beyond Boundaries Design Policy Conference” alongside industry pioneers Jonathon Glus and Edna Dos Santos-Duisenberg ! Our conversation delved into the intricate challenges of shaping effective policies for a sustainable orange economy ecosystem — a task demanding innovation, resilience, and a true understanding of local and global contexts.
A key point we underscored was the “missing voice” of the U.S. perspective in this global dialogue. While countries around the world are increasingly recognizing and investing in the creative economy, there is a noticeable gap in the U.S. voice within international discussions on policy frameworks, sustainability, and support mechanisms. This absence limits opportunities for cross-border collaboration and knowledge-sharing that are vital for a globally robust creative sector.
Now, more than ever, the global creative economy debate is reaching a critical juncture. The industry is in flux, and the need for cohesive, forward-thinking policy design that embraces sustainability is paramount. This moment requires not only robust local policies but also a unified international vision where each voice, including the U.S., contributes to crafting an inclusive, resilient, and thriving creative economy.
