Episode 30ish/3 of A is for Architecture is a conversation with Catherine Ingraham, writer and scholar, about Architecture's Theory, part of MIT Press' Writing Architecture Series.  As the publisher's spiel has it, ‘architecture as a thinking profession materializes theory in the form of built work that always carries symbolic loads'. But can there even be architecture without theory?  Catherine is a professor in the department of Graduate Architecture and Urban Design at the Pratt Institute, New York, where she was Chair of Graduate Architecture, between 1999-2005. Other significant written works by her include Architecture, Animal, Human: The Asymmetrical Condition (Routledge 2006) and Architecture and the Burdens of Linearity (Yale University Press 1998). From 1991 to 1998, with Michael Hays and Alicia Kennedy, Catherine edited Assemblage: A Critical Journal of Architecture and Design Culture.

In this episode I caught up with Bronwyn Van Der Merwe, VP of Design at Culture Amp. We speak about Design Culture and tap into Bronwyn's absolutely incredible background and personal experience that saw Bronwyn spearhead the evolution of Fjord in APAC regions. What were the key things that Bronwyn did to ensure the scalability of a design culture at Fjord in Australia, and also when it scaled into Asian regions like Singapore and Japan. How did they balance the local culture in each region and touch on how this was handled as the merger between Fjord and Accenture unfolded, that ultimately saw two cultures merge. We speak about Bronwyn's past, tapping into their Commerce background, and how this ultimately provides them with a brilliant lens to peer through when looking at the commercial impact of Design. We chat about the work that they are doing at Culture Amp, and the special culture that is unfolding within the business. I say this lightly, but this is a must listen to anyone in Design leadership.

We're back for 2023! And today on our show, we're talking about artificial intelligence and human creativity. Creative AI, also called Generative AI, is inspiring new ways of working and even thinking about the creative process. To help us unpack the implications of all this, we're once again joined by Andreas Markdalen, Global Chief Creative Officer at frog. Back in 2015, Andreas first began speaking about the intersection of AI and design at a conference called Digital Shoreditch in London. A few years later, he again explored the topic in a presentation at Interaction 19. Next month, Andreas will again take the stage at Interaction 23 in Zürich to expand on whether Creative AI will be the death of creativity, or the means of unlocking a whole new era of imagination.Brought to you by frog, a global creative consultancy. frog is part of Capgemini Invent.

Back when we were job hunting early in our careers, no one mentioned company culture, and we didn’t look at company culture as a ‘thing.’ We looked for open jobs and took them when hired! These days, a company’s culture ranks high on the wish list of many motion design job seekers. Join us as we discuss what makes company culture toxic, or sustainable, and how to recognize aspects of each type. Every company or classroom has a culture, it may be great in a giant corporation, and it could be horrible in a small, seemingly cool, boutique organization. Don’t assume. Do you have some great culture-related work stories? Send them to us, we would love to hear about them. Discussion Points: Let’s first define what culture is in the dictionary It’s definitely challenging to foster culture in our current remote home-based zooms and slack etc.. Motion design work used to be only in NY/LA but now you can work anywhere Great motion design teams can be found in lots of unexpected places, like CashApp Company culture is always changing– and you can influence it when you’re inside Is the company culture “sustainable” or toxic? Some attributes that make for a toxic company environment: Discrimination of any kind: any of the ‘isms’ Unrealistic expectations for work deadlines Constantly in DefCon 1 Mode/putting out fires Burnout Some attributes of a sustainable culture Feeling like you want to be there Anyone can speak up at any time without repercussions Communal spaces to talk, eat, hang out Clear HR policies/regular reviews Clarity of reporting structure– who can you talk to about issues? Ability to manage your personal obligations without repercussions Accessibility to leadership People/leadership saying thank you for all your hard work Do you have some interesting culture

Funsize is a digital service and product design agency that works with inspiring design and engineering teams to uncover opportunities, evolve popular products, bring new businesses to market, and prepare for the future.   Takeaways Enterprise design work is more about understanding people and maturity levels and way less about the actual design work. “A good client is one with whom you can work for three years or more, with several workstreams in each account and sustain that.” - Anthony Protecting what you consider is vital, such as cultural management decisions, which are made to ensure that the company's workforce number remains constant rather than to make money.

Welcome back to UserFlows Podcast on July 20, my name is Thomas Morrell and I'll be your host. This is a show where we talk UX Design and Careers. I interview other designers about their journey into the field of User Experience Design and how they've thrived in their roles. Share some tips and information you can use to advance your own career in the field.Today, I'm speaking with a past colleague, friend, and all-around amazing person. Caryn Gallis is a Director of Experience Design specializing in Culture & Training. Caryn is also a professor of design at Keen University in New Jersey. I first met Caryn in my first week working at Prudential Financial. A big project I was hired for hadn't kicked off yet, but Caryn and UserFlows podcast guest Brian Evans from episode #2 were working on putting together a training deck for the team at Prudential on how to Facilitate Design Sprints. They presented me with the idea of creating a fake project in order to use as the training material source. It was a really fun project and ultimately an amazing way for me to be introduced to Design Sprints. An activity I use often in my own design process now.For those of you who don't know, Design Sprints are a fantastic 3 - 5 day design workshop meant to take a companies ideas from zero to prototype within a very short timeframe. They are highly collaborative, fast-paced and are a great way of getting ideas in front of your audience without spending months or years building the wrong product first. They were started by ex-Google Ventures member Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky, and Braden Kowitz. They made their findings into a fantastic book. “Design Sprints, How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days”. For all the hype around design sprints, at least from my perspective, the hype is well deserved.Since helping Brian and Caryn create the training material for sprinting at Prudential. I was fortunate enough to go through their training program and facilitate six design sprints while at Prudential. All were hugely beneficial to the projects I was working on and a transformational moment in my own career. Having tools like this to help your team navigate through or break up continuous cycles of non-decision are a fantastic way to help your team push past where so many others get stuck.Caryn is an integrative thinker who thrives on solving the big picture while remaining focused on relevant details through every stage of the assignment. She seeks to understand the user's needs while keeping the business goals in alignment.Caryn and I discuss her career and transition from designing children's toys to UX design. What are design sprints? When to use a design sprint and possibly more importantly when not to use a design sprint. She'll take us through her process of selling Design Sprints in a large enterprise organization and how she went from a comment in an interview to scaling design sprint training to well over 500 members of her organization.She shares some great tips around keeping a Design Sprint best practices wiki. Connecting with the decider of your sprint beforehand in order to ground them in their role. She also shares some great tips and advice for new designers looking to get into the field.If you are new to the show or if you haven't already.

I had a very inspiring chat with graphic designer, educator, publisher, and event organizer Esen Karol, who is based in Istanbul, Turkey. Esen shared her personal journey of becoming a type and graphic designer - starting as a young girl in Istanbul, getting her masters on a Fullbright at Pratt and teaching at Istanbul Bilgi University. She said she wanted to become a designer to be a "mediator" to help people communicate.I was intrigued to hear about the thriving local Istanbul design culture Esen has contributed to. In particular, I Ioved hearing about her starting "Jeff Talks", the name a parody of Ted Talks and inspired by a cheap IKEA chair she first used at the event. What started as a small design salon grew into an event in the hundreds. For Jeff Talks she began baking cakes (the favorite of each featured designer) and as the event grew she ended up making lots and lots of cakes (as documented in https://jeff-bakes.tumblr.com/) Esen also founded Manifold, a platform for designers to write about design and culture in Turkish. Manifold is a cultural criticism journal featuring hundreds of contributors aged 17 to 70.Esen is a graphic designer based in Istanbul, who works on both digital and analog projects in her one-person studio. Her current work focuses on designing books for art exhibitions and cultural institutions. Her clients and collaborators have included Arter, Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, Mavi, Meşher, and SALT. From 2003–2012, she taught typography and publication design at Istanbul Bilgi University. She is a graduate of Mimar Sinan University, Istanbul and received her master’s degree in communications design from Pratt Institute, New York, where she was a Fulbright Fellow.Esen's Linkedin ProfileManifold (TR)Jeff Talks (TR)Jeff Bake Cakes (EN)

Steven Chaparro has been fascinated by structure and design since he was a child. At the age of five, he used a Bugs Bunny art kit to sketch a neighbor’s house. In middle school, he chose to draw Thomas Jefferson’s palatial home, Monticello, for a project on historical figures. Steve knew he wanted a career in architecture and — set out to get it. And after years as a successful architect, Steve has become a different kind of designer altogether. Today, he helps businesses design and transform their cultures. Take a moment with hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi as they discuss Steve’s views on creating and maintaining a company culture that goes beyond ping-pong tables and open-concept office plans. Steve also shares his insights on brand storytelling, spatial diversity and how intentional humanity is crucial in maintaining culture — especially during times of uncertainty.

Vad är design culture egentligen? Effekten besöker Linköpings Universitet i jakten på svaret. Där finner vi Stefan Holmlid, professor i design, som ger oss en klarare bild av begreppet. Design culture är förmågan hos en organisation att utnyttja design på ett sätt så att man uppfyller både sina egna mål och de andra man samskapar med, användarnas mål. Människor, attityder, relationer, det vi gör - allt skapar själen i en miljö, bildar den kultur man befinner sig i. Användarinvolvering är nyckeln när man skapar en tjänst. Hur förhåller sig design culture till digitaliseringen? Hur driver man en design culture på arbetsplatsen? Och vad gör samhället i frågan?
