2021 GDUSA People to Watch

Our 2021 / 58th anniversary GDUSA People To Watch spotlight on designers who embody the spirit of the creative community.

For Nearly Six Decades, GDUSA Has Started Each Year By Choosing A Group of People to Watch Who Embody The Spirit of the Creative Community.

Individuals we have come to know and respect for a combination of talent, success, leadership, newsworthiness, influence and community service. In a field so deep in talent and broad in numbers, this is clearly a subjective process. And this year was a particular challenge — as well as a particular honor for us — since so many of you were able to navigate an unprecedented and uncertain environment with grace, dignity and intelligence. We hope you enjoy and appreciate our selections, heed their compelling words about what has changed and what has not — as well as what 2021 may look like. And, as usual, let us know what you think and who may be missing. We expect to be here another 60 years, so there is time and space aplenty.
