Designing for someone is not the same as designing with someone – and this is particularly notable when dealing with marginalized groups. In this Fika break, we talk to Ralph Vacca, a researcher, designer and educator with a background in mental health, about how technology can empower us to be more self-aware, compassionate, actively participate in civic life and education technology.

Fika with Ralph Vacca and Skipper Chong Warson

Named for the Swedish custom that eschews the ‘on-the-go paper coffee cup’ routine in favor of slowing down and catching up with colleagues and friends, the Fjord Fika podcast features unscripted conversations with key luminaries and thought leaders in technology and design. Sometimes strange, but always interesting, each Fika conversation offers a fresh, honest look at all sides of innovation – the good, the bad and the ugly – and the impact on society. Fjord is a design and innovation consultancy, part of Accenture Interactive.
