A podcast by SYPartners about designing a future that’s made for all of us—and the best in us. Design, at its heart, is an act of service. It’s the work of solving problems for the benefit of others. But the world’s most complex challenges require something more comprehensive than our existing design frameworks. Climate change, migration, food distribution. The future of work and education. Bigotry, tribalism, and inequality. How do we design for problems that exist on a global scale? Problems where everyone really is our end user? How might we truly design for humanity? In this podcast, host Rie Nørregaard interviews brilliant design minds—product designers, industrial designers, advocates, and more—to explore what it means to design for humanity and what new ways of thinking and methods are required for problem solvers of all kinds.

    Advocating for inclusivity through art and conversation, with Shannon Finnegan & Sugandha Gupta

    Artists and makers Shannon Finnegan and Sugandha Gupta pull inspiration from personal experiences to provoke conversation and insights through their work—about activism, inclusivity, and the experience of enjoying art itself. In this episode, Sugandha and Shannon discuss the possible shortcomings—and inadvertent exclusivity—of existing design frameworks, and how organizations can be welcoming spaces for disabled people. They also tell us about their experiences as part of the inaugural cohort of the WITH Fellowship, a program run by The Disabled List that places disabled talent in top design studios and fosters authentic conversations about differences. Shannon Finnegan explores disability culture and access through different modes of design, art, and writing. She has done projects with The Invisible Dog, Friends of the High Line, and Wassaic Project, where she created the Anti-Stairs Club Lounge. Website: www.shannonfinnegan.com Instagram/Twitter: @shanfinnegan Sugandha Gupta uses a variety of different materials, everything from paper to wool, to create a holistic art experience that spans the senses. From sound, to smell, to tactile feel, she is breaking the expectation of experiencing physical art only through sight.

    Building a runway for change in fashion, at 3’5”, with Sinéad Burke
