A number of months ago, I was researching for my keynote in Scotland in June this year, and I stumbled across the work of Superdot studio in Switzerland. I was blown away by all the amazing work that they had done and was thrilled to see that they were in the process of publishing their book, Visualising Complexity - A Modular Information Handbook. I purchased it and from the moment it arrived on my desk, it has not been too far away. I show it to people on Zoom calls and any of the trainings that I have been doing. I have recommended it to many of my peers. I feel so lucky to have this podcast, as it allows me to reach out to people I truly respect and connect with them over a conversation, and I did just that with this book. I connected with Darjan, and we had an amazing conversation. We explored the process that both he and his partner, Nicole follow when visualising complexity. One of the things that struck me the most from this conversation, was just how analogue the process of brilliance is. A lot of what I took away from this conversation was just how much space and air that Darjan and leave in their work, to let things sit, and include elements of structured exploration before arriving on a visual language and approach to their work. Too often, I find we (and I include myself in this) have tools in place and in mind when we are researching. As in, many of us know and fall into that category of “well, we will be creating a journey map, or a blueprint, as we know this worked for X project”. This isn't what you hear in this conversation. We talk about the process deeply. How they move from chaos to simplicity.

In this episode I speak with Steven Russell, a service designer and now Innovation Manager at Stagecoach bus in the UK. We chat about autonomous buses - a project that Steven has been working on for quite some time. Now, no longer in the realms of movies like Back to the Future 2, it's not too far away. How far I hear you ask? Well at some point this year, Edinburgh will hopefully become one of the first cities in the world to start rolling the service out in a R and D capacity. We chat about all the ins and outs about the process, and discuss what the service might look like, potential service failures and other industry dependencies like insurance (who is responsible in the case of accidents) and also how to prepare society for visual of seeing a bus with people driving down the road, with no human driver at the wheel. Note: Since recording the launch date for the autonomous bus service has been announced. It will open to the public on Monday, the 15th of May.

Hello and welcome to Bringing Design Closer. Our goal is to have conversations that inspire and to help move the dial forward for organisations to become more human-centred in their approach to solving complex business and societal problems. In this episode I chat with Dee Seaver from Philips about the role of the Service Design function within organisations and the interconnectedness towards how academia prepares designers towards either agency or in-house practice. It may seem like a small nuance, but it's a really interesting conversation to have and reflect. It's a good episode and hope you enjoy it. Also, thank you so much to everyone who has been leaving so many wonderful reviews for the podcast. I recently checked and saw lots of reviews trickling in from across the internet. If you like what we do, leave a review wherever you are listening…it helps me out and helps others find the podcast too! Let's get into it...

In this episode I caught up with Oliver Weidlich, of Contxtu.al Sydney, formerly known as Mobile Experience. I've met Oliver several times over the years whilst living in Sydney, always in passing, and never in detail, but was always hugely impressed when I saw him speak about Design, and here is no different. We focus our conversation on spatial computing, and get straight into the nitty gritty of what this is, and how it will radically change how we design services and experiences. We chat about the complexity of data ownership, and build on the conversation threads that myself and Scott Jenson spoke several months ago.

In this episode I caught up with Roya Azadi, strategic director at Paper Giant, a design consultancy based in Melbourne, Australia. I follow a few places on my personal social accounts and really respect the work that the folks at Paper Giant do, and was really excited when I saw a project that they did with the Supreme Court in Victoria around accessing Justice. We chat about the project is detail, how Roya and the fellow team members built trust, worked alongside other consultancies, remained focussed on the analogue, and also what Roya brought to the project themselves, through their own story. It's a great conversation. https://www.papergiant.net/work/a-user-experience-strategy-to-improve-access-to-justice-at-the-supreme-court https://www.linkedin.com/in/royaaazadi/?originalSubdomain=au Other useful links Become a Patron of This is HCD / https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patron Sign up to This is HCD Newsletter / https://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcd Learn more with This is HCD / https://www.thisishcd.com/courses Coaching for Change-Makers / https://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makers FREE GUIDE - 7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tips Follow Gerry Scullion on Twitter / https://twitter.com/gerrycircus Follow This is HCD on Twitter / https://twitter.com/thisishcd Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

Our goal here is to have conversations that inspire and to help move the dial forward for organisations to become more human-centred in their approach to solving complex business and societal problems. This is a new type of episode that I am looking to explore more over the coming years, and that is looking laterally into other fields where we as change-makers can find inspiration. And inspiration you are 100% about to feel and hear in this conversation with one of the finest singer-songwriters around anywhere today, and that is Mark Geary. The music you hear throughout this episode, is from Mark's first album, released in 2002 and has accompanied me on my journey as a designer and an ex-patriot whilst living in Australia. It wasn't until recently though that we really got to sit face to face, in front of turf stove, and drink countless coffees and sing and play guitar together in Mark's gorgeous cottage in the wilds of a rainy Autumn day deep within a forest on the outskirts of Dublin. In this conversation we talk about the remarkable journey Mark has been on over the last 2-decades that has seen him play all over the world. Mark doesn't play music to be adored, he plays to exist - it's part of who he is. It's part of his fabric. He constantly tours around the world, often with Glen Hansard, another phenomenally talented Irish musician. We speak about his roots in Sin-E in New York, a place where he cut his teeth - a free flowing cafe that many music lovers will automatically connect with Jeff Buckley, but this was a community of like minded people, that cheered and nurtured their own. A community, much like our own within This is HCD, that is trying to figure it all out and get ahead. There are points in this conversation where we chat about Mark's environment, and how having the space set up and ready to channel whatever it is that we call ‘it' - how this affects the process. Mark's guitars are all around the place, and he's constantly playing, experimenting, trying and testing out ideas. He's a master crafts person. We even talk how this environment is shaping his music, or maybe his music is shaping his environment. How living within a forest is permeating into his latest release, with his latest single being called The Forest. Let's get into it!

The episode you are about to hear is with Felisha Araniti, from SCAD University in Savannah. Felisha connected with me several years ago when we ran the first Doing Design Festival and recently published a visualisation that caught my attention. Titled ‘Neurodiversity' within Human Centered Design Practice, I connected some of the dots between a conversation or episode with Brigette Metzler about how certain neurodiverse minds may well be better suited to aspects of design. It was a throw away comment by me at that time, but Felisha has been researching in this space for a while, following her own diagnosis with ADHD.

I recently caught up for coffee with John Collins, also based in Dublin, and the former Director of Content for Intercom and now an independent consultant working in content marketing for businesses around the world. In this conversation we chat about the role of Content Marketing vs Product Marketing and chat about the massive growth of Intercom over the 7 years that John was there. I put John on the spot (you're welcome John!) and asked him for the 5-key learnings during this period and also the things that they did that led the business to generating over 1/4 million business leads in that time.

I caught up Scott Jenson recently - Scott refers to himself as a battle scarred veteran of the software industry. He has been doing user interface design and strategic planning for over 30 years. He worked at Apple on System 7, Newton, and the Apple Human Interface guidelines. He was UX director of Symbian, VP of product design for Cognima, managed mobile UX for Google and was a creative director at frog design in San Francisco. Scott returned to Google in 2013 to lead the Physical Web project and research future Android UX concepts. In 2021, Scott left Google to explore life outside. In this episode we drill into Scott's focus at the moment, Design within FOSS (free and open source software). We plan on recording two episodes, so this is Part 1. Part 2 will follow in early 2023.

In this episode I chat with Kelly O Dowd, a recently graduate from NCAD in Ireland. We chat about what the experience was like leaving University, her search for jobs, and where they feel there's opportunity for universities to better support students in that highly emotional stage of life - the transitional period between Uni and working life. Kelly is totally fantastic and I know you will get a lot out of this episode. Let's jump into the episode.

If you're new around here, let me tell you a little bit about This is HCD. It started life in Sydney, whilst I lived there for nearly 14-years. We have been creating content for over 5-years - all for the love of sharing knowledge to the global design community. At the moment, this podcast is my main focus in my career and growing it is my number 1 goal. There are a few things you can do if you want to help This is HCD.

Also we launched a space on This is HCD.com where you can take courses now on visualisation, design research, UX and Service Design - check it out. In this episode I speak with Dr Helena Darwin, a UX Researcher based in New York City. Helana has a doctorate in Sociology and is the author of the book ‘Redoing Gender: How Nonbinary Gender Contributes toward Social Change'. We connected recently on LinkedIn about a series of posts that Helana made about the affect that businesses can put on people to train outside of work hours. I had several conversations with people I've coached over the years about this topic, and as you will see, it's a pandoras box that Helana fantastically describes in great detail. We had a few technical issues on this episode, but thanks to the wonderful editors on the show, we managed to put all the pieces together! Let's jump in...

Hello and welcome to This is HCD. My name is Gerry Scullion and I am a designer, educator and host of This is HCD, based in the wonderful city of Dublin, Ireland. Our goal here is to have conversations that inspire and to help move the dial forward for organisations to become more human-centred in their approach to solving complex business and societal problems. This is a new type of episode that I am looking to explore more over the coming years, and that is looking laterally into other fields where we as change-makers can find inspiration. And inspiration you are 100% about to feel and hear in this conversation with one of the finest singer-songwriters around anywhere today, and that is Mark Geary. The music you hear throughout this episode, is from Mark's first album, released in 2002 and has accompanied me on my journey as a designer and an ex-patriot whilst living in Australia. It wasn't until recently though that we really got to sit face to face, in front of turf stove, and drink countless coffees and sing and play guitar together in Mark's gorgeous cottage in the wilds of a rainy Autumn day deep within a forest on the outskirts of Dublin. In this conversation we talk about the remarkable journey Mark has been on over the last 2-decades that has seen him play all over the world. Mark doesn't play music to be adored, he plays to exist - it's part of who he is. It's part of his fabric. He constantly tours around the world, often with Glen Hansard, another phenomenally talented Irish musician. We speak about his roots in Sin-E in New York, a place where he cut his teeth - a free flowing cafe that many music lovers will automatically connect with Jeff Buckley, but this was a community of like minded people, that cheered and nurtured their own. A community, much like our own within This is HCD, that is trying to figure it all out and get ahead. There are points in this conversation where we chat about Mark's environment, and how having the space set up and ready to channel whatever it is that we call ‘it' - how this affects the process. Mark's guitars are all around the place, and he's constantly playing, experimenting, trying and testing out ideas. He's a master crafts person. We even talk how this environment is shaping his music, or maybe his music is shaping his environment. How living within a forest is permeating into his latest release, with his latest single being called The Forest. Let's get into it!

We touch on Lydia's work at the fantastic Design Justice Network also. Let's jump in..

This episode is the second part in a two-part series with Andy Polaine, the regional APAC design director for Fjord and Simon McIntyre who is the Associate Dean of Education in UNSW, formally COFA, the College of Fine Art and Design. In the first part, we spoke about the problems faced in education and spoke about some of the origins of these problems. This episode builds on that but goes deeper into the work that UNSW is undertaking about redesigning the university with a focus on enabling a culture that will better place their students for the future. What's so good about this combination of Andy and Simon is not only have they worked together before but is the relationship between Andy's service design history and his academic past in teaching in Europe. Together with Simon, they approach the subject of the future of education with pragmatism.

This is HCD is brought to you by Humana Design Over the course of the last year or so, I’ve heard whispers in the UX community of a new role emerge called a UX Writer and instantly was drawn to it as I have identified the issues many times in my career of the solutions that a role like this can address. She also published a really great article on Medium that I’ll also add to the show notes. We caught up online to record this episode, and had a good chat about how Rachael got into the industry, what she does, the principles of good UX writing, what tools she uses and much much more.

This is HCD is brought to you by Humana Design In this episode, we caught up with Eduardo Kranz who is a design director at Fjord Canberra. We discussed where the service design and UX professions intersect in respects to the skills and activities that are done on a day to day basis. We didn't get into the definition of what service design is or isn't or any of the other semi contentious issues around the two practices. We did, however, drill deeper into the practices and daily rituals that Eduardo believes better serves both service design and UX practitioners, and most importantly the client and/or project in question.

Gerry Gaffney is a globally respected UX thought leader and co-author of the highly respected form design book (with Caroline Jarrett) 'Forms that Work'. (Link in the show notes).

Gerry shares some war stories on form design, the role of chat-bots and AI on form design and more... Gerry was interviewed by Gerry Scullion, Adrienne Tan, and Mark Catanzariti.
