The Human Centered Design Podcast (Premium)

Just announced 'Doing Design Festival V2' - June 18 2021

In this episode, Vimla is speaking to Annie Mbako a fairly newcomer to the design and tech space, where we're speaking about career transitions and how in some industries what you wear is as important as what you think.

When COVID-19 hit, many governments reverted to a panic publishing approach, getting as much content up on their websites as quickly as possible. Structure, organization, testing, it all got shoved aside in the rush to publish. Sarah explains how this sort of panic publishing culture can be avoided in the future because panicking serves nobody.

Sarah Richards defined the term ‘content design’ in the early days of GOV.UK, where she led the award-winning content team in the design of the UK government website. For me, GOV.UK is one of the shining lights when it comes to true and genuine quality web design and management. GOV.UK has shown what online government for the people, rather than for the politicians, can be like, by being functional, evidence-based, rigorously tested, clear and succinct. Sarah now runs Content Design London, a content design consultancy. Sarah is a wonderful person and a true digital pioneer.

Today on the show, we have Jo Szczepanska - an incredible designer based in Australia. In this episode, we spoke at length around co-design and how to go about introducing it within organisations. We spoke about Jo’s experience working in this space and spoke about a fascinating project that Jo did called Refugee Realities - aimed to educated school children and the wider Australian public about life as a refugee.

Jo was one of my favourite guests ever on This is HCD, and I could have spoken to them for hours.

Today on the show we have Ana Kyra Beks, a Slovenian service design and facilitator based in Germany. In this episode, we speak about Ana's studies at Laurea University in Finland, and her interest in neural psychology and how this transfers to the structuring of online learning, something that many of us are doing on a day to day basis.

We even got into some demonstrative exercises in this episode, where Ana completes a fun exercise called 'the Rant' with me - something that was quite funny. Ana is great and think you’ll enjoy this one…

Let’s get into it...

When Liam Nugent closed down his digital agency he accounted for all the digital stuff they had created. Each employee was generating about 100 gigabytes of data a year. When they cleaned up all this data so as to give a quality hand-off to their clients, they found that 99.9% of the 8 terabytes of data they had created was useless.

Today on the show, we have Eriol Fox, someone I recently connected not on Twitter, but within the This is HCD Slack channel. Eriol describes themselves as a human rights centred and humanitarian designer and is one of those designers that makes many of us quite enviable. They can work with organisations in pretty much any area of Design from workshop facilitation through to UX Research, prototyping - they are pretty much an all-rounder!

But we speak about Diversity in Design, but not in a superficial way. We try and get a little deeper into areas around speaking up and feeling empowered to do so inside organisations. I loved speaking with Eriol - they are a wonderful person and am so excited to share this conversation with you…
