In this first season, we launch on a quest to uncover how to activate our senses of purpose in our work, and redefine our visions of design. Triggered by real contemporary problematics and the big questions we try to wrap our heads around, we bring on friends, designers and professionals around the table to assess, dream and potentiate. Together, we discuss if design can really play a part in tackling the issues we face in our modern world - things like climate change, gender inequality, the migration crisis…. This is for all of us juggling with our chaotic reality and the thirst to discover how to contribute to the creation of an improved world. Join our collective journeys on the path to furthering our own agencies, as we discover, step by step, that everyone can become a designer.
Welcome to the FrequenciesLab Podcast. Let us give you a little tour of what you can expect from this space.
On FrequenciesLab, we talk a lot about design, agents, systemic change, and more. But what do these terms even mean? It's not unnecessary jargon, we promise. And here's why.
In this episode, Alice, Valentina and Lou discuss the power of crafting stories, framing new narratives, and the guts it takes to assert ourselves as designers, in particular as women in male-dominated industries.
In this episode, Lou and Finn discuss their journeys towards design, why it's essential to rebel against institutions, the dangers of hustle and performance culture, key steps to creating tangible change and how to cope with feelings of inadequacy and climate anxiety.
In this episode, Daze, Valentina and Lou discuss the power of activism and community as tools to regenerative cultures - within ourselves, and our social networks. In this passionate episode, Daze walks us through regaining independence, fostering systems of care and alternative models for life rebellion.
In this episode, Rafa, Lou and Valentina discuss activism and community care as tools to create regenerative and resilient cultures.

In this episode, Cleo, Lou and Valentina discuss the importance of delight and scale in our relationships to the spaces around us. Sharing her incredible journey through traumatic brain injuries and the relearning of sensory and motor skills, Cleo breaks down neuroaesthetics, overcoming fear and connecting with deep empathy when wanting to create tangible change - and why beautiful spaces are a civic right.
