    Designing the Future of Food | Dan Barber

    Designing the Future of Food | Dan Barber

    This week we talk about how real food is the best medicine.
    Dan Barber is chef and co-owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York, and the author of The Third Plate. A fierce advocate for sustainable, ethical farming and cooking, Barber’s opinions on food and agricultural policy have appeared in The New York Times and other publications. He also co-founded Row 7 Seed Company, which brings together chefs and plant breeders to develop new varieties of vegetables and grains. Barber has received multiple James Beard awards including Best Chef: New York City (2006) and Outstanding Chef (2009). President Barack Obama appointed him to serve on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, Sports & Nutrition. Barber continues his work to blur the line between the dining experience and the educational, bringing the principles of good farming directly to the table.
    This episode was recorded live at the 2023 Aspen Ideas: Health Festival. Special thanks to the Aspen Ideas team for making this happen! Bon also wrote a blog post for the event, 5 Reasons Why Clinicians Should Think Like Designers.

    This week we talk about simplicity as a strategy.
    Howard Belk pulls double duty as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Creative Officer of leading global brand experience consultancy Siegel+Gale, which he claims is one (or two) of the six best jobs on the planet.
    He is an entrepreneur who helped a 50-year-old branding firm reestablish industry leadership by embracing its disruptor legacy. Since his arrival at the firm in 2004, he and his colleagues have established Siegel+Gale as The Simplicity Company, truly the go-to firm to help untangle the mind-bending brand mash ups that result from the entrepreneurial adventures of the CEOs they love.
    Over his career, he has partnered with Fortune 500 clients to embrace the power of simplicity, purpose, experience and design to transform and grow their companies. Today, he is one of those rare birds who understands both business and design, and more importantly how to embrace one to succeed at the other.

    Designing with Neurodivergent People | Katie Gaudion

    This week we talk about designing for diverse perspectives 
    Katie is a designer and researcher; she is a design consultant and Senior Research Associate at the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design which is an Inclusive design Centre based at the Royal College of Art in London. Katie is neurodivergent (Dyslexic and Dyspraxic) and for the last 16 years has collaborated with neurodivergent people to explore ways to make their everyday lives comfortable and enjoyable. Katie has worked within a range of contexts: Supported living accommodation, mental health hospitals, garden design, healthcare services, developing design standards for the built environment and street design.
    An important aspect of Katie’s PhD called: A designer’s approach: Exploring how autistic adults with additional learning disabilities experience their home environment, was to explore how to connect and engage with people beyond verbal speech. A great lesson learnt was the importance of empathy, something that can grow and develop.
    Katie speaks not as an expert but as a person with lived experience and the privilege of collaborating with lots of different people.

Inspires me

This really inspires me a lot!
I’m from Portugal and I have LHON, a terrible and incurable disease that causes loss of central vision forever. I started to get interested in health care, so this podcast is perfect for me to learn more about health design, that means so much to me.
Thank you Dr. Bon Ku!!
