Quelle vision pour le métier de designer ? Face aux enjeux socio-écologiques actuels, la pratique du design amène à s’interroger sur l’héritage de la discipline, de ses pratiques et de son éthique professionnelle. Mellie La Roque fera part de son point de vue engagé sur le sujet, s’appuyant sur son expertise mêlant recherche et design de service, mais aussi sur ses activités liées à sa fonction de coprésidente des Designers Éthiques.
