Before we jump into this episode, I wanted to alert listeners that this episode may contain content that is triggering to some people. In it we discuss sexual abuse and working with Design alongside issues of trauma.

Today on the show we have Rachael Dietkus a phenomenal person and advocate for trauma led approaches in design.

First and foremost, Rachael is a social worker, based 2-hours south of Chicago in Urbana Champaign in Illinois. We speak in depth about trauma as a societal problem, that is owned by all. We go into the details around working in this space and the affects it can have on change-makers, and how we, as designer and change makers are very much exposed to this reality. How might we protect Designers from likely vicarious traumas in this space? How can we prepare the next wave of change-makers to be ready? We speak about what Designers need to be aware of when approaching some of the most sensitive subjects known, such as child sexual abuse, domestic violence etc.

In this episode I speak with the brilliant, the lovely, Kelly Ann McKercher - author of Beyond Sticky Notes and a wonderful designer to boot. We speak about DESIGN AT people - and go deeper into determining what this means for organisations. We speak about ways for teams and designers to help self-identify between DESIGNING AT and DESIGNING FOR people. We look at what this means whilst balancing DESIGN WITH and if this is the goal that we should be aiming for.

We chat the interrelationship between Design and Music and what Design can learn from thinking like a musician. As an 'ex' musician and songwriter myself, I see the world of Design very much within the same family as music.

We drill a little deeper into Christofs Music Thinking framework and learn more about the value it can bring to teams and organisations.

Lets get into it.

The Website Carbon Calculator is a real go to tool for me when I want to find out how much CO2 a particular web page is creating. This, and many other great initiatives, comes from Wholegrain Digital, a company founded by Vineeta and Tom Greenwood in 2007. Tom has recently published an excellent book, Sustainable Web Design, from A Book Apart. I wanted to know how Vineeta and Tom got started so early in
