PODCAST: Design Thinking RoundTable
Season 3: Designing for the public
Designing for the Public to investigate the meaning of Human-Centered Design in the public sector. Public sector fundamentally pertains to and involves people: Without people, the “public” does not exist, nor does the government. We discuss, debate and question the past, present and future of design thinking in the public sector.
In the first episode, our host, Priyanka Vora and studio lead sat down with design experts working with and in the government to discuss why human-centered design matters for developing and implementing policies that create positive social impact. Listen here.
Season 2: Designing for All Humans
In the latest season, we focus on designing for all humans. As practitioners of human-centered design, we should always encourage ourselves to think about the extremes, and not design only for the “average” user. However, more often than not, the people who are already marginalized in society remain excluded from this process. How can we find the right way through this? Listen here .
