About this event

Join Christine Sheller, VP AI Strategy + Consulting at Cella and Professor at ArtCenter College of Design, for an inspiring talk on what it really takes to build a lasting, meaningful career in design.

From early career pivots to leadership lessons, she’ll unpack how curiosity, courage, and one powerful mindset shift — saying yes — can shape an entire career.
