Design Conversations - Rash Design

DesignTalk:
Conversations About Design

(2024 DesignTalk update: going forward, I’ll be focusing specifically on UX-related topics, beginning with user experience consultant and author, Paul Boag!)

Studios and designers are reimagining how they approach problems and what they deliver, underlining why design skills are relevant to almost any business challenge. In this series, I’ll explore some of those new ways of thinking, and also talk to people and companies that are reimagining what it means to be a designer, showing us the possibilities when you expand on traditional roles. Thanks for joining us!
