Bringing Design Closer

On Manuel Lima’s website, he mentions “a celebrated voice on UX design and data visualization who has spent the past 15 years leading design teams and building cutting-edge digital experiences at companies like Google, Codecademy, Microsoft, Nokia….”. His first three books were breathtakingly beautiful. If you like data and visualisations, then you are more than likely familiar with one or all of his books.
A number of months ago, Manuel sent me an advance of his latest book, The New Designer and it instantly felt different. I could sense a sea change had occurred and in this conversation that you are about to hear, we discuss the reflective process that Manuel took in the creation of this book.
It’s an awesome book - that is perfectly timed. Many of us are questioning our roles in the creation of service that perpetuate social structures and norms. This book is not just for you, but it’s for everyone you know who is on a journey of self-discovery and purpose.
This was a lot of fun to record and hope you enjoy it!

What is Bringing Design Closer ?

Bringing Design into organisations is hardly ever straight forward. It comes with its own unique set of problems.

We discuss with thought leaders around the world, what has worked for them in enabling a design revolution to occur.

Within our podcast, we specifically ask how might Design improve social and civic outcomes. We shine a light on Design in local council and Governments.
