In this episode, our guest is Ariba Jahan, a biomechanical engineer turned innovation and design strategist focused on creating social impact and a future that is more accessible and equitable and supports intersectionality. She is currently the VP of Design & Innovation Strategy at the Ad Council, where she established the organization’s design innovation practice. 

As an immigrant Bengali woman who discovered her hearing loss at age eight, Ariba advocates for diverse, marginalized voices that are often overlooked to ensure their lived experiences inform and drive the work. Her work involves scaling design practices across the organization, leading design sprints to create digital products for social good, exploring future-forward technology, and facilitating working sessions that foster equity, humility, curiosity and challenging assumptions.
