Tales From The Top

In this episode we were joined by Dr Brandon Gien — one of the world’s leading voices in design strategy and innovation. He shares how design is much more than aesthetics- it’s a force that drives change, shapes policy, and fuels sustainable growth.

As Chair of Good Design Australia and Executive Director of the Australian Design Council, Brandon is leading the charge for design excellence with global impact. With a PhD. in Environmental Design and a background in mechanical engineering and industrial design, he brings both expertise and vision to the global stage.

🌐 As a former President and current Senator of the World Design Organization, Brandon has championed initiatives like the World Design Impact Prize and the World Design Medal, recognising innovation that truly improves lives. 🏅

In this episode, we explore:
🛠️ How design is solving real-world problems
🌱 The intersection of innovation, sustainability, and design
📈 The economic and societal power of great design

This is a conversation that will open your eyes to the real potential of design in shaping a better world.
