Designing a Design Community with Stephen P. Anderson
February 11, 2021 10:00 - 29 minutesWhen we think of a designer’s toolkit, a vision of pens, pencils, markers, post-it’s, or software might come to mind. But there’s more to design than just putting pen to paper, or pixels on a screen. There are tools that help designers structure their thinking, create focus, or break free of their biases or constraints of their prior personal experience. These are the kinds of tools we’re going to talk about today. Well, not just the tools, but a community built around learning, experimenting...

The Convergence of Music, Technology, and Design with Haig Armen
January 21, 2021 10:00 - 26 minutesWhen we think of creativity, it's natural to define it through the lens of the specific craft we directly relate to. I'm a designer and musician, both professionally and personally. And even though I associate myself with both, it has taken me a long time to embrace my music background as a tool in my design work. Our conversation today explores the convergence of music, technology, and design in process, methodology, and the creation of experimental musical instruments. It's part one of a di...

Designing Movements through Art with Derek Hess
January 07, 2021 10:00 - 27 minutesThere is something that drives great artists in a direction that they can call their own. It's a niche that somehow draws the person experiencing the art into an emotional state in very specific and personal ways. But very few artists have taken this gift and applied it to create things greater than the art itself. That's what our guest, Derek Hess, has done. Derek is a prolific artist that has played in a key role in building movements in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, and across the globe...
Designing Ethical AI with Carol Smith
December 31, 2020 10:00 - 35 minutesArtificial Intelligence is often given a bad rap. It has an ever-increasing role as the supervillain in everything from science fiction to the nightly news. But is Artificial Intelligence to blame for the unintended mishaps or misuse of the technology? Behind every algorithm and every line of code, there is a human being. These people wield an ever-increasing amount of power over our lives. Our future will inevitably be impacted by code; it will keep us safe, it will take us to where we need ...

December 10, 2020 10:00 - 29 minutesIn part two of our discussion with Karl Fast, we take a deep dive into how our bodies and physical surroundings are used as tools and actors in the process of cognition and understanding - that understanding is not something that solely happens in the mind but is inextricably linked to artifacts of our surroundings.

Information Futurism with Karl Fast
December 03, 2020 10:00 - 16 minutesThroughout the history of civilization, we have seen an ever-increasing need and ability to create, store, and share information. But as our ability to access information grows exponentially, are we as designers, focusing too narrowly on the short-term; designing, developing, and shipping product based on the information and technology available to us today and ignoring what the future might have in store for us? In this episode, Karl Fast, a former professor, the co-author of Figure It Out: ...
Systems and Sensemaking with Erik Dahl
November 26, 2020 10:00 - 30 minutesComplexity is all around us. From our social systems to the products and services we create, complexity lurks beneath what might seem to be the most simple solutions. If we ignore it, the consequences might haunt us long into the future in ways we didn't foresee. But if we approach complexity more systematically, we can better understand the potential impact of design decisions further up- and downstream. In the second in our two-part conversation with Erik Dahl, we'll discuss how modeling c...

The Future of Collaboration with Jim Kalbach
November 12, 2020 10:00 - 40 minutesCollaboration is a critical element of design. It facilitates the cross-pollination of ideas, concepts, and diverse perspectives. What happens when collaboration in a physical, face-to-face sense becomes at best much more difficult and at worst, explicitly outlawed? If this was some time in the not-so-distant past, we would brush this off as science fiction. But the pandemic of 2020 made it a reality. In this episode, Jim Kalbach, Head of Customer Experience at Mural and expert workshop facil...
