Podcast appearances and mentions of Manuel Lima

Today, I'm chatting with ⁠Manuel Lima⁠, a UX design thought leader, author, and leading figure in visual culture development, the intersection between art and technology, and data visualisation. Manuel Lima's latest book, The New Designer: Rejecting Myths, Embracing Change, challenges traditional notions of design by emphasizing designers' ethical responsibilities in today's society.  In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore how design shapes not just what we see but also how we live, think, and interact with the world around us. Manuel dismantles traditional design paradigms and presents a compelling case for designers to embrace their role as architects of change, addressing crucial challenges at personal, societal, cultural, and environmental levels.

In this episode, we delve into the expansive role of design in shaping our world. Far beyond the traditional scope of production and aesthetics, design emerges as a potent tool for solving problems, one that transcends material boundaries. The discussion pivots to the often-overlooked facets of design, highlighting that its most compelling attributes, like service design, are invisible yet impactful.The conversation challenges the outdated notion of human-centric design, advocating for a paradigm shift to include our planet as the primary stakeholder. This new perspective recognizes Earth as the end-user, demanding a redesign of business practices and product development to account for environmental consequences.A critical reflection on the ethics of design is posed, questioning the trend of companies delegating moral responsibility to select ethical boards. This practice is seen as a superficial gesture, a smokescreen that distracts from the inherent responsibility every individual and entity has towards ethical considerations.The episode suggests that in an age of information overload, the paralysis by excessive data is a real threat. It stifles our innate intuition, which should be treasured as the voice of our collective experience. The call to action is clear: question everything, consider the long-term implications of our actions, and harness design as a force for creating a greener, more sustainable future.Through this introspection, we're encouraged to extend our understanding of the present, to make decisions that honor the relationship with our future selves. In doing so, we confront a paradox: humans, uniquely aware of long-term repercussions, yet often acting in ecological ignorance. The episode urges a reconnection with our intuitive wisdom, tapping into this to guide us toward more thoughtful, conscientious design decisions.Reimagine is a podcast with host Babak Behrad, brought to you by Society Lab.

Matt Crawford speaks with designer and author about his book, The New Designer: Rejecting Myths, Embracing Change. The choices made by designers have a significant impact on the world, yet many of them focus more on the aesthetics than the ethics. Lima takes a deep dive in this book and cracks open our mind to expose how we are all complicit in the longevity of these products and how we can all be more mindful of what we use and how we use it. This is a book that will fundamentally change the way you view things and I hope you will all give this book a read and have a conversation regarding it.

This week we talk about The New Designer: rejecting myths and embracing change. Manuel Lima is an internationally renowned designer and author of three bestsellers that have been translated into several languages: The Book of Circles, The Book of Trees, and Visual Complexity. Named “one of the 50 most creative and influential minds” by Creativity magazine, he is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a leading voice on information visualization. His talks have been watched by more than three million people around the world and he has been featured in such magazines and newspapers as Wired, New York Times, Science, Nature, BusinessWeek, Fast Company, Forbes, and El País. The founder of VisualComplexity.com and a regular teacher at Parsons School of Design, he has over fifteen years of experience designing digital experiences and leading product teams at such companies as Google, Microsoft, and Nokia. His new book is The New Designer: Rejecting Myths, Embracing Change (MIT Press, May 2023).

On Manuel Lima's website, he mentions “a celebrated voice on UX design and data visualization who has spent the past 15 years leading design teams and building cutting-edge digital experiences at companies like Google, Codecademy, Microsoft, Nokia….”. His first three books were breathtakingly beautiful. If you like data and visualisations, then you are more than likely familiar with one or all of his books. A number of months ago, Manuel sent me an advance of his latest book, The New Designer and it instantly felt different. I could sense a sea change had occurred and in this conversation that you are about to hear, we discuss the reflective process that Manuel took in the creation of this book. It's an awesome book - that is perfectly timed. Many of us are questioning our roles in the creation of service that perpetuate social structures and norms. This book is not just for you, but it's for everyone you know who is on a journey of self-discovery and purpose.

Gabi Ferrara and Jon Foust are back today and joined by fellow Googler Manuel Lima. In this episode, Manuel tells us all about data visualization, what it means, why it’s important, and the best ways to do it effectively. For Google and its mission, data visualization is especially necessary in faciliatating the accesibility of information. It “makes the invisible visible” because of the way it can decode meaningful data patterns. Working across multiple GCP products, Manuel and his team build advanced visualization models that go beyond graphs and bar charts to things like sophisticated time lines that aid in the progression from data to usable knowledge. They have also created guidelines for things like what kind of graphical language to use, what type of charts users might need, and more. These guidelines, originally used only internally, have now been adjusted and released for use by developers outside Google with the help of the Material.io team. The guidelines are based around the six data visualazation princples that help users get started. They can be employed to plan and inspire an entire project or to evaluate a specific data visualation chart. Some of the most important principles are to be honest and to lend a helping hand. You can read more in their Medium article, Six Principles for Designing Any Chart.

PHOTO Scene from the Summer 2016 production of King Lear at the Pumphouse, Takapuna. Edgar asks his (now blind) father Gloucester to visualise Dover Cliff. ACADEMIC WORD Visualise means to be able to imagine or understand something visually. Sometimes lecturers ask the audience to visualise a real or imaginary scene which they are describing. Charts and models are important ways of allowing readers to visualise data and theories. One example of this is the way that important concepts in a subject are organised into a taxonomy, which shows the relationship between the different elements in a system – these are typically represented in visual form as a tree diagram or a network. This is the topic of today’s online lecture. TEST Which one of these sentences is NOT correct? Can you visualise Donald Trump as US President? I’d like you to visualise the scene as the emergency services arrivde at the site. The following slide visualises the structure of dna. The traditional organizational chart may distort the way we visualise relations between team members.

Hi all, Finally, after chasing him for a long while we have Manuel Lima on the show! Manuel has been around for a very long time. He created Visual Complexity in 2005, an archive of network visualizations which became very popular. He is also the author of two great books: Visual Complexity and The Book of Trees. In the show we talk about archiving visualizations, how to write and publish visualization books and how the whole field had developed and where it is heading. Great great show! Take care.

Manuel Lima (http://www.visualcomplexity.com) outlines historical factors behind the current outburst of visualization, then gives an eclectic survey of recent projects that visualize complex data in a clear and compelling manner, especially networks. He also highlights general strategies for managing visual complexity. This talk was presented at VIZBI 2011, an international conference series on visualizing biological data (http://www.vizbi.org) funded by NIH & EMBO.
