Abstract

The guests in our commercial series, are experts focused on how our collective system is organized. We’re not talking about which produce to pick at the grocery store – although these lifestyle choices are critical. Our guests in this second series play pivotal roles in the organization of our society, disrupting the economy at the institutional level and changing how products are imagined and created. In this episode, Leyla Acaroglu shares with Eric the importance of systems thinking and circularity for designers, along with the generational and cultural challenges of implementing it in the workplace. She also gives us her sage advice on how to create change through design, and how her Unschool can help us all disrupt the status quo to change the system. After the interview, design researcher Bhavna Bhavanishankar joins Eric to unpack the episode providing the most important calls to action from the discussion that you can implement today!
