Who does design belong to, and who is it for? How does it serve us—all of us—and how can we learn to better understand its future, and our own?

On Design As— a new podcast from Design Observer—we’ll dig into all of this and more, in conversation with design leaders, scholars, practitioners, and a range of industry experts whose seasoned perspectives will help illuminate the questions as well as the answers. In this first season, we’ll consider the topics of Culture, Complexity, and Citizenship in terms of their impact on the design practice and also in terms of how they themselves are being shaped by design today.
