Synopsis
Wouldn't it be great if we could get the design approach into the hands of many more people and empower them to improve their life? Keneilwe Munyai is on an inspiring mission to get design out of the corporate lab environment and make it accessible to people in rural areas of Africa. In this episode we talk about the barriers that we've put in place that make design less inclusive at this moment. And of course what we can do to break down these barriers. Because we can't afford to restricted design a small privileged group of people. Next up on is the topic of sustainability. There's a lot of talk about designing for sustainability but not so much action according to Keneilwe and that needs to change. We go over some strategies to actually make sustainability and integral part of your design process. Not hard, but super important. Finally it's all about redesigning education.
