Design Truth

The most wonderful time of the year.

Wyn Jones - Head of Design @ Entia
Jordan Burns - Head of Product & Manufacturing @ Namene Solar

We have been super blessed with the support this year on the pod... in an effort to keep industrial design connected.

Thank you for sticking with us, but most importantly have an awesome Christmas.

See you in 2021.

No ego. Stay humble. Question everything.

Arrival is now no longer in stealth mode. It's a billion dollar business. 

They'll redefine public transport forever, although they are humble enough not to admit it.

This is a super rare opportunity for you to listen to the stellar design minds and have a relaxed, unfiltered conversation about what makes it so special.

Thank you to Patrick Bion (Chief of Product) & Jeremy Offer (Chief Design Officer) for joining us.

The world is a crazy place currently, so we thought it would be the perfect time to understand what designing a better world would look like with Merle Hall - CEO of Bristol-based design consultancy Kinneir Dufort.

Stay safe & healthy in these weird times.

Thank you.

When it feels like there is no jobs out there, sometimes you have to look to create one.

So we caught up with two agency owners to get the rundown on the reality of having your name on the door.

Before you talk about your product, we need to know the problem.

The world of construction is set to be rewritten through product design & tech... COVID has only accelerated that vision.

We caught up with Guy Newsom, Design Director over with XYZ Reality, as we uncovered the transition of working for Samsung to being tucked away in a little box cupboard of a studio in the London Business School.

With Drew also starting a new gig at a startup, this was a great opportunity for Guy to look back over the last few years and share his insight into building a brand as well as a design team.

(excuse some of the audio here. We had some zoom issues at the time.)

We had a message from a listener.

He was secluded in a farm in Northern Australia and our podcast was his only connection to the design world.

So we thought we would bring the Aussie design world to him.

We had the pleasure of speaking with both Troy Nyssen (Creative Director) and Nathan Pollock (Founder) of Katapult Design.

Katapult is an elite-level, red-dot award winning agency. 

This chat is to understand what makes them tick, the challenges they are facing and the parallels between the UK & Australian design scene.

So here is episode 10 of our podcast. 

We have had a boat load of views over the last few weeks, and have found ourselves on the design charts so THANK YOU.

There is a slight audio issue with this particular episode. With zoom and digital tools, sometimes these things happen. Drew has done an awesome job with the edit to get this listenable.

Julie is the R&D director over at Convatec which is a global medical product and technology business with a particular focus around wound and skin care, ostomy care, continence and critical care and infusion devices.

We spoke about medical device design in lockdown. The harsher realities of sustainability. The agency/client dynamic and how to get the best out of that relationship.

If you turn left on a plane, you know all about Melbourne based Buzz Products.

Sam Blank heads up the design team, and gave us his unique insight into what the future of travel could look like.

Combining an industry collapse with lockdown, Sam was ever the optimist despite the scale of the challenge.

Product Designers are problem solvers.

We spent an hour with the two Creative Directors at world-class Design Partners.

Cathal & Cormac have been tremendous support since the start of Design Truth, so it was amazing to get them on and chat through their experiences.

Design Partners are involved in some amazing work, including their strong collaboration with gaming giant Logitech. You can see more of the good stuff here - https://www.designpartners.com/

Part 2 of this conversation - the seven question design challenge is on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcUjEionkEo&t=1255s

Join us for episode 7 as we talk to the Head of Innovation Design Engineering @ Imperial College, Stephen Green!

Stephen is a familiar voice for so many having been at the forefront of design education at the likes of Brunel, Imperial and Ravensbourne.

We talk about design education under lockdown, as Stephen sheds a light on his experience over the lockdown.

With his students also facing a tremendous economic challenge, Stephen also provides valuable insight for any graduate (or furloughed) designer looking for a career move ... with an optimistic look on how now is the time to collaborate and build a kickstarter.

We also talk about his role with BIDA - the British Industrial Design Association, and what the recent transformation looks like for the industry.
