Service Design Network YAP – 2023-05


Guest on the innaugural Service Desin Network YAP podcast, talking about design, futures and becoming a designer in industry. 

In our launch episode we talk with Tobias Revell,  who leads the Future's practice at  Arup.

Tobias is a fantastic storyteller, with deep experience in multidisciplinary design and  our conversation covers topics ranging from  how to establish and grow a successful speculative design team, to  top tips for new designers looking to network,  (via corporate greenwashing and Billie Eilish).

The Next Generation Service Designer question in this episode comes from  Amrutta Supate, Juliee Ingle and Yalena Sun.  The designers are currently studying Service Design at the RCA and found time to come up with a great (and taxing) question about positioning a speculative exploration of solar energy in low income communities.
