How does it serve us—all of us—and how can we learn to better understand its future, and our own?

On Design As—  podcast from Design Observer—we’ll dig into all of this and more, in conversation with design leaders, scholars, practitioners, and a range of industry experts whose seasoned perspectives will help illuminate the questions as well as the answers. In our first season, we considered the topics of Culture, Complexity, and Citizenship in terms of their impact on the design practice and also in terms of how they themselves are being shaped by design today. In season two, recorded at the Design Research Conference 2024 in Boston, we gathered new round tables to discuss Design As Governance, Care, Visualization, Discipline, Humanity, and Pluriverse. Plus, our bonus episodes are exclusive recordings of conference panels!

Design is directly involved in, and often leading, the process of shaping the vision and the strategy of a company. Still, design is often intended more as a practice—at different levels, from new product development to design thinking—and less as a systematic, both fundamental and applied, research approach, thus limiting its potential for long term, radical innovation.

In this bonus episode of Design As you’ll hear Lee Moreau in conversation with Jadlia (Jada) Britto, Mahsa Ershadi, and Susan Fabry discussing: What is a working definition, and a potential role, for design research, or research through design, in the business context? How can universities, research centers, companies and other organizations partner to shape meaningful, viable, sustainable, and socially relevant innovation?

 We realized these conversations were necessary, where real talk and a sense of camaraderie allowed us as a group to push past the obvious and to share what truly makes the hard work worth it. On this new show, Design As, we'll bring together a new group of people for each conversation framed again around the same words: culture, complexity, and citizenship. We hope you will subscribe on Apple podcasts or Spotify or wherever you're listening to us.

Special thanks to Mastercard for supporting this season.
