In this unfiltered and deeply reflective episode, Gerry Scullion speaks with Lee Moreau – architect, educator, and founder of Other Tomorrows – about the state of design amidst global turbulence. From their shared love of architecture to podcasting as a tool for oral history, Lee opens up about why designers must brace for impact, embrace discomfort, and use their skills to care for one another. Together, they discuss the intersection of politics, design education, and the urgency of building alternative futures.


3 Key Takeaways:

  • Design isn’t just about outputs; it’s our human response to change and uncertainty.
  • Podcasting is a form of oral history, especially vital in documenting human-centred design.
  • The next wave of designers must be politically awake, resilient, and community-driven.
