Design Truth

Part 2 of our chat with Design Researcher Vish Chopra.

In part 1 we spoke about 'The Future of Work' as Vish talked us through the trends and proposed the future of the workplace.

Not to shy away from the deep conversations, we also spoke about diversity within Industrial Design and why it is an important component to a design team.

Vish talks us through the future metrics of diversity (beyond gender and race) and gives an insight into his own experiences in the industry.

We also talk about the economic ramifications as lockdown measures are eased.

The pubs are open soon, but the future of the office is intrinsically linked to a 'new normal' post Covid.

We caught up with design researcher Vish Chopra over a bottle of wine, who talks us through future trends about what the world of work will look like going forward.

This is part 1 of 2. The second part, which we felt deserved it's own solo episode, is all around how important diversity is in design.

We always love to hear your feedback.

We have made it to episode 5.

We speak to Ben King & Luke Gray from Koa - two former Joseph Joseph designers who have achieved over 200% of their Kickstarter target for their inventive bedding brand Koa.

This is the perfect episode for any designer looking at pursuing a side hustle for eventual commercial gain, as lockdown creates a new set of problems to be solved.

We caught up with Tom Malloy - Senior Design Consultant over at Oxford Product Design to find more about agency life in lockdown. Tom talks about the 'black and white' response to covid, but the 20+ strong team is as busy as ever.

Recorded during mental health week, we discussed the impact of mental health on a designer as well as how designers can hone their craft if on furlough.
