"The Mentors" Interview Series Released

A new YouTube channel run by UL Lafayette Industrial Design Students has launched a new interview series called "The Mentors."

Design Lafayette, the social media platform for the Industrial Design program at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, is creating a series of video interviews with designers, artists, influencers, and anyone else that might provide helpful insights to both design students and their fellow designers. “The Mentors” started from a desire to better prepare designers for their professions and as a means of developing and fostering relationships with and in the design community. It is hoped that these relationships will be both local and national in their scope. Each of these short videos will cover a different topic based upon the unique skills and insights of each mentor.

The first three videos are out now! Check them out at the links below.
