Design is everywhere: from the chair you are sitting on to the phone you are holding. But do we truly understand it?

Is design just a skill you need for solving a job’s problem, or is it primarily a way of learning and living? How can design help us understand and develop our moral character?

Join Leopold Ajami and Ricardo Pinto, with the show’s very first guest, Jonathan Steingiesser, as they put the idea of a design on trial. 

Jonathan Steingiesser is head of design at Omnipresent, a fast-growing startup where he and his team are maturing the product design practice. He is also the founder of The Human-Centered Design UAE meetup and an experienced strategic advisor for many organizations all over the Middle East and Australia.
