DDS Podcast #30 - Dan Levy, Principal of More Space for Light

In today's episode of the Dallas Design Sprints podcast, we're joined by Dan Levy, Principal of Australian-based consultancy More Space for Light, His company specializes in strategy, user experience, design sprint training and facilitation.

We have a chat about the origins of his company's name, his work with Design Sprint Academy and what he has planned for 2019. While I didn't include it in the podcast, I will tell you that one of his favorite teas is Rooibos. I'm a diehard black loose leaf tea drinker, but it's all good. :)

If you're out in Australia and would like to know more about Dan, you can catch him at his upcoming experience master class events at the end of February:
