DesignThinkers Podcast
From the Association of Registered Graphic Designers, this is the DesignThinkers podcast. In celebration of 25 years of the DesignThinkers Conference we dig into our archives and reconnect with past speakers about the talks and ideas that have shaped their careers—and the event. You’ll hear from powerhouses such as Paula Scher, Lauren Hom, Michael Bierut, Karin Fong and Sagi Haviv—just to name a few.
DesignThinkers Podcast
Grace Hwang
My guest this week is Grace Hwang. Up until very recently, Grace was working at Microsoft as Partner Director of Device Research + Design. That role encompassed Device Design, Mixed Reality hardware and software, Accessibility, and Sustainability. She believes in the power of human-centered design to cultivate positive change in people, systems, and society—and she brought that belief to that role. In this conversation, we talk about our responsibility as designers, the future of computing, and the ways we bring our own behaviours into our work.
