It is already the country's most costly wildfire on record.You've seen the pictures of devastated neighbourhoods reduced to ashes, with the Pacific Palisades no different to many other neighbourhoods in the LA area. Except for the fact that one house seemed to have survived the onrushing flames more or less unscathed…Michael Kovac is the Founder and Design Partner at Kovac Architecture Studio and the owner of that house.

This is the last episode of the #designersdigest series where we have Daniel Burka and co-host Shreyas Satish. We talk about blurring lines between product and design, the importance of being a generalist in design, and the role of product managers in the design process. This series is created by Audiogyan in partnership with @godrejdesignlab Designer's Digest series is about Design as a profession, its daily grind, the secrets to climbing the design career ladder, and what edge we'll need to thrive in the captivating world of design. Daniel is the director of product and design at the not-for-profit Resolve to Save Lives, where he spends most of his time on the open-source project, Simple. Simple is used by thousands of hospitals in India, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia to manage over 2 million patients with hypertension and diabetes. He is on the board of Laboratoria, a not-for-profit based in Peru helping Latin American women build successful careers in tech. In 2021, Daniel also started the open-source Health icons project to provide free icons to healthcare projects around the world. He is also a member of Adobe's Design Circle, which grants scholarships to a diverse group of designers each year. Previously at Google Ventures as a Design Partner, Co-founder of Milk.inc and SiverOrange, and more… Questions At RTSL, You're a Director of both Product and Design. How do you distinguish between the two verticals daily, especially concerning concerns and metrics? Who is a Product manager and who is a designer according to you? Who according to you is supposed to focus on defining the right problem and then crafting the perfect solution? How blurred are these lines? What are the primary differences if I may ask? Seems like a designer can become a PM. Can it be the other way around? This is in the context of a few hard skills. A PM is torn between a thousand things from business to analytics and many other things. How can designers venture into this role? Also, can you steelman the case for a designer to become a PM? In a lot of companies, tech and design functions are both product reports, while in many these are separate verticals. In your experience what works best and when? One criticism of product managers, by folks like Marty Cagan, is that product managers often function as project managers. What in your view should a product manager focus on bringing to the table?* Designers in their romantic vision want to solve problems for all users. While Product folks go after those getting the dollars. Can you give any example from your experience where you have balanced it elegantly? What did it take? One death is a tragedy while a thousand deaths are statistics. How do you see this in the world of Product managers obsessed with data over real emotions? This is specifically for your work in healthcare. Some companies Like Airbnb have evolved their org structures to have Product Marketing Managers and Apple of course has Program Managers who report to a Product Director. Do you have a framework to think about organizational design with product teams, of course, knowing that different organizations have designed differently based on what they are focused on? What do you consider the key responsibilities of a product designer? Again, from tiny startups to large MNCs* You work on Simple, which is of course, primarily focused on creating impact. Can you talk a little bit about what it's like designing for social impact compared to increasing market share or profitability? In a digital landscape, how can we ensure our products create real value and positive impact beyond just solving problems? What is the future of Product Managers and Designers in the AI world? What does the career ladder look like? What skills do we acquire for the future of WWW?

Why all SaaS companies should implement usage-based pricing andHow to run a successful design partner program with your customers to build your early MVP
Irene Au shares some of the learnings from her stellar career, the early life experiences that have helped her to succeed, and the importance of sweating the right stuff. Highlights include: What role does the C-Suite play in a company's ability to realise good design? How did you navigate the strong points of view of founder executives? What did you see in the designers you've hired that wasn't in those you didn't? Why do design leaders need to carefully choose their stakeholders? Why do you wish the job title UX Designer would disappear? ====== Who is Irene Au? Irene is a Design Partner at Khosla Ventures where she works with early-, mid- and late-stage startup CEOs to help them realise the value of design through better methods, practices, processes, leadership and talent. Irene has been one of Silicon Valley's most successful design executives and has played an important role in shaping and elevating design within several influential technology companies. She was the VP of Design at Udacity, where she helped the leadership team to find product-market fit and to define the company's strategy, vision, mission, and values. Irene also led the design and research efforts for the company's first product offering. Irene was also the Director of User Experience (Global Head) at Google for nearly 6 years. During her time there, Irene scaled and led the design team to over 350 people and transformed the way the famously engineering-driven company valued and operationalised design. Her success at Google was in part enabled by her prior experience as VP of User Experience at Yahoo!, where for four years she was the design leader responsible for the company's user experience across all of its products and design infrastructure efforts. ====== Find Irene here: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ireneau/ Medium: https://medium.com/@ireneau Twitter: https://twitter.com/ireneau Website: https://ireneau.com/ ====== Liked what you heard and want to hear more?

Aujourd'hui, j'ai l'immense privilège de recevoir Pauline Glikman, cofondatrice et CEO de Payflows, une plateforme d'orchestration de la gestion financière pour les entreprises de taille moyenne. Payflows permet de connecter les différents systèmes d'une entreprise (système comptable, banques, backoffice) pour les faire parler entre eux. Et si je suis aussi enthousiaste à l'idée d'interviewer Pauline, c'est qu'on va parler de Design Partners (nouveau concept sur “Structure”) qui est un accélérateur dans le développement d'un produit tech pour qu'il soit en phase avec son marché. Un grand merci à Anne-Sybille Pradelles (Formance) que vous pouvez retrouver à l'épisode #63 pour cette chouette mise en relation. Pauline, merci d'être avec nous aujourd'hui, comment vas-tu ? Kicker Question : Pour commencer, je te propose qu'on parle un peu de toi et de Payflows. Que faites-vous et comment toute cette aventure a-t-elle démarré ? Quel est ton rôle et quelles sont tes responsabilités ? Que faisais-tu en tant que VP Operations (quand c'était ton poste) chez Luko ? Les questions « Structure » : Q1. J'ai déjà vu le cas dans un précédent épisode où une partie de l'équipe Qonto avait ensuite monté l'entreprise Lago. J'ai le sentiment que les liens tissés chez Luko ont aussi permis de créer Payflows. Je trouve ça très beau. Comment ça s'est passé pour vous ? Q2. Un truc qui m'a interpellé lors de notre préparation de l'interview, c'est la perspective que tu as sur l'évolution de tous ces produits qui, anciennement, étaient bancaires, et aujourd'hui deviennent néo : PSP encaissement d'argent, Compte Courant, Dette / Risque Q3. Vous avez lancé Payflows en vous appuyant sur des Design Partners. Qu'est-ce qu'un Design Partner et quelles sont les opportunités qui se cachent derrière ? Comment les avez-vous “recrutés” ? Quel pipe commercial ? Comment êtes-vous passés d'un modèle gratuit “user case” à un modèle payant ? Q4. Dans cette phase de développement produit (avec les Design Partners), quelles metrics vous regardiez et vous intéressaient le plus ? (j'imagine que ce n'est pas l'ARR…) Q5. Ce n'est pas commun des femmes fondatrices dans le milieu de la fintech (bon sur le podcast “Structure” on a reçu Anh-Tho (Lago), Anne-Sybille (Formance) et toi, alors je commence à trouver ça “normal”, mais quels sont les avantages et les inconvénients ? Qu'est-ce que ça change ? Q6. Quand tu retournes à ton desk juste après l'interview, quels sont les enjeux structurels sur lesquels tu bosses en ce moment ? Finish Line Question : Dans 1 an, j'ouvre une bouteille de champagne en l'honneur de Payflows. À quoi spécifiquement trinque-t-on ? Conclusion sur Design Partner : Co-Construire avec ses Clients avec Pauline Glikman Merci encore une fois à Pauline pour son temps et pour ce partage. J'ai passé un excellent moment en sa compagnie et j'espère que vous aussi !

TODAY'S GUEST Irene Au is Design Partner at Khosla Ventures, where she works with early-, mid-, and late-stage startup CEOs. She is dedicated to raising the strategic value of design and user research within software companies through better methods, practices, processes, leadership, talent, and quality. Irene has unprecedented experience elevating the strategic importance of design within technology companies, having built and led the entire User Experience and Design teams at Google, Yahoo!, and Udacity. She began her career as an interaction designer at Netscape Communications, where she worked on the design of the internet's first commercial web browser. Irene also teaches yoga at Avalon Yoga Center in Palo Alto where she is among the teacher training program faculty and is a frequent author and speaker on mindfulness practices, design, and creativity. An adjunct lecturer at Stanford University, she teaches product design in the mechanical engineering department. Irene also serves as a trustee for the Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design. Irene authored the definitive O'Reilly book, Design in Venture Capital, and her popular essays can be found on Medium. She has been featured in WIRED magazine, Fast Company magazine, CommArts magazine, and on the cover of Mindful magazine. EPISODE SUMMARY In this conversation we talk about: Developing listening skills as an introspective child, and how feeling like an outsider helped her develop those skills. Her electrical engineering studies, and her transition into looking at how technology influences society and people and how we live. Her time at Netscape, and tying together the products for a consistent look and feel across a suite of products that came out at the time called Netscape Communicator. Her move from Netscape to Yahoo!, and what went wrong for Yahoo! as a company trying to find its way. Her time at Google as we look at it from all angles. What was the state of design at Google before she joined and what were the changes she tried to implement as she brought human-centered design and practices to Google? Hiring strategies, staff training, and how design workshops ultimately became the Design Sprint at Google. What is design and what is a designer? And the role of the designer in venture capital. I think my greatest takeaway from this interview is this sense of hope that someone like Irene is able to walk into these very "techy" cultures and produce real change. And all it takes is really showing the value of the work and being willing to engage and promote better practices. I think Irene will be an inspiration to many non-engineers who find themselves in heavy engineering cultures and want to make a contribution. This conversation with Irene is one of many weekly conversations we already have lined up for you with thinkers, best-selling authors, designers, makers, scientists, impact entrepreneurs, and others who are working to change our world for the better.

His career as a designer before getting into GV, first working at FeedBurner, then after the acquisition by Google, working at Google Ads, and eventually leading design on the YouTube Channels feature at YouTube. We also discuss: The particulars of being a designer at Google at the time, where he felt like he had to present hard data and actually learn how to code to even get a seat at the table. His time at GV, where he was brought in as a successful designer at YouTube to help portfolio companies benefit from his design experience alongside the other design partners, which eventually led to the creation and iteration of the Design Sprint. Their process of writing Sprint and Make Time, and how they treated it like any other design process. Character, their new venture fund, and John's idea of starting a fund as a way to create alignment again, between him as a designer and the companies he serves. This conversation with John is one of a dozen or so weekly conversations we have lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, entrepreneurs, impact investors, and more, who are working to change our world for the better.

Architect Chris Kempel and I discuss adaptive reuse of old buildings and how his studies in Berlin, Germany, informed his desire to mix the old with the new. We touch on daylighting in older buildings, using the natural environment to inform design, and whether or not technology can replace humans when it comes to intuitive architecture (It can't!) One of the biggest ways we can affect climate change is to use existing buildings rather than tearing them down, and Chris and his firm work tirelessly to bring clever design ideas to developers to maximize beauty and efficiency. Episode Sponsor - www.sustainablehomesofthefuture.comContact Host - info@shfbuild.com About Chris: Chris Kempel (AIA, NCARB) channeled his lifelong fascination with the arts into the pursuit of architecture, landing him in his current role as Design Partner for RKA. A graduate of The UCLA Master of Architecture program, Chris also studied at the Kunsthochechule Weissense in Berlin, an international program that values an interdisciplinary approach, viewing society and art as having a symbiotic relationship. Since childhood, Chris has admired the juxtaposition between natural and manmade environments, and in the confluence of his drawing, building, and visionary skills. He emphasizes excellence in craft, understanding that to fully tailor a family’s home or a new office building, it’s the finest of details that heightens the experience. His greatest passion lies within designing residential spaces. The notion that a well-designed home can positively affect someone’s well-being is what drives him to think of every last detail—he once spent several days living on a family’s land to better understand the way sunlight changed throughout the course of a day, all to better inform the design of its future dwelling.

Designing museums and concert halls demands a blend of experience, talent, and vision. Richard Olcott, Design Partner at Ennead Architects in New York City, brings the right blend and a sense of play to a serious profession. In this episode we learn about whether, in the face of the pandemic, clients are still lining up (they are), museums will return to business as usual (they won't), and how the Spanish Flu of 1918 was central to the birth of modernism and the International Style of architecture (wait, what?). We discuss digital tools, the blight of ‘supertalls' casting shadows across New York's Central Park, indoor vertical gardens and other moves towards sustainability, whether ‘open office' designs are doomed, and multiple other topics.

Conversely, how we create and what we design are the culmination of who we are as individuals coming together to make something for others. In this talk, Irene Au, Design Partner at Khosla Ventures, explores how our inner state manifests in design, and why the best thing we can do to become better designers may be to work on ourselves.

Everyone benefits from understanding great design. Whether you make products, program apps, or provide services, design plays a critical role in how effectively you accomplish your goals. And if you work in the field of design, there has never been a better time to showcase your skills. In this thought-provoking interview, John Maeda talks about all of this and more. An award-winning designer who was described as a bellwether for the design industry by Wired Magazine, John sits at the crossroads of business, design, and technology.. His TED talks have been viewed by millions, and his books have been translated into dozens of languages. John began his career Professor and Head of Research at The Media Lab at MIT. He then served as President of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), authored a number of books, and then left academia to work as Design Partner for venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins. He now works as Global Head of Computational Design and Inclusion at open-source tech firm, Automattic. John shares what he has learned along the way. Insights from our interview include: How the arduous practice of engineering informs his perspective on design How he was raised not to know what he could not be How curiosity is about having an openness to now knowing How much of what he saw in Silicon Valley was reminiscent of MIT How resilience can increase with curiosity How each challenge he has chosen stretches him How creatives often lack confidence - a normal occurrence for them How a brilliant professor taught him to say I do not know The three kinds of design that exist right now How digital design is constantly changing, immature How design thinking is a powerful strategy for understanding users How schools can benefit from real-world practice Why stepping out of academia was important for his understanding of the world Why the addictive aspect of tech is not a problem for him How he is always looking for new people to learn from Why he wishes we were talking less about beauty in design and more about effectiveness How he wishes design were more about who we can serve rather than trends How he is asking how design can be more inclusive How we can get caught up in making things in our own image through design The fact that design tends to come to the foreground only once the tech matures The challenges of leading and working with people in design How he is learning to work in a 100 percent remote tech company Selected Links to Topics Mentioned John Maeda @JohnMaeda MIT Media Lab Rhode Island School of Design Kleiner Perkins Automattic Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer Design Report 2016 Walker and Company, Bevel Brand Grindr Jackie Xu Justin Sayarath The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly Harry Potter by J.
