About AdvancedDesign

Advanced Design was founded by Hector Silva in 2016. As a young educator and designer himself, Hector quickly saw many opportunities for improving education. There was a disconnect between the way design was taught in school and what was demanded of industry. However, against the behemoth of traditional academia, there is little power at the individual level. So, he took matters into his own hands, and Hector built a small team to begin to work to fill those gaps through practical hands-on workshops, bringing together students and professionals. Fast forward five years, and AD has become a mainstay of design education—offering content that highlights excellence in the industry, building diversity in the field, connecting designers through events and workshops, and, through its most ambitious task to date, creating our own design school. Today, AD has over 30 members, advisors, and instructors across the US and continues to build its community base globally.
