Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FEED DROP Design As Technical Difficulties
Q: What advice would you give to designers about job commitment?
I suggest that designers should commit to a role long enough to create impact, as frequent job changes might hinder their ability to achieve meaningful contributions.
FEED DROP Design As Technical Difficulties
Q: What prompted your transition into tech and design?
I discovered a passion for how technology could support people, leading me to pursue human-computer interaction after realizing the impact design can have on user experiences.
Design As S2: Finale ft. Don Norman
Q: What role does education play in shaping future designers?
Education should not be confined to just art; it needs to focus on understanding users and their needs to prepare designers for real-world challenges.
Design As Pluriverse
Q: How do you see pluriversal design influencing the future of the design discipline?
The future of design will involve closer collaboration with other disciplines and a greater focus on transformation and creating new futures, moving away from traditional ideologies.
Design As Pluriverse
Q: What challenges do you face when teaching about the line between real help and oppression in design?
It's crucial to recognize theories of change and understand the assumptions we hold about how change happens, while also acknowledging that our approaches cannot always be seen as superior to those of our partners.
