For three days in March, we gathered with some sixty people—designers and scholars, social entrepreneurs and independent consultants, creative leaders and senior practitioners from across a range of industries—to discuss the current state of everything from collaboration and craft to cultural transformation, technological innovation, and the social and systemic changes impacting the ways we live and work. 

 We realized these conversations were necessary, where real talk and a sense of camaraderie allowed us as a group to push past the obvious and to share what truly makes the hard work worth it. On this new show, Design As, we'll bring together a new group of people for each conversation framed again around the same words: culture, complexity, and citizenship. We hope you will subscribe on Apple podcasts or Spotify or wherever you're listening to us.
