In episode two of our mini-series asking 'How can design be used to tackle disconnection?' we’re speaking with Leah Heiss, a Melbourne-based designer and the Besen International Research Chair in Design at Monash University.

Through collaborative projects, Leah has brought human-centred design to technology to improve and save lives.

We speak to Leah about her work on technologies for combating isolation and loneliness, expanding notions of connection, building communities of practice across disciplines and lots more.
