Season Two of NCOMMON invites listeners into the heart of Alison Rand’s new book, Sentido: Finding Sense and Purpose in Design Leadership. “Sentido” means sense—to feel, to understand, to make meaning. This season, she’ll be in conversation with guests whose stories echo the themes of Sentido, asking the questions that often go unspoken about leadership, belonging, and change. Together they will reflect, challenge, and imagine new ways forward—finding clarity in complexity and purpose in practice.

    Radical

    In this episode, Alison is joined by Aimee Meredith Cox and Soeuraya Wilson, teachers at The Class whose work is grounded in embodiment, care, and long-standing practice in collective spaces. Their conversation explores what it means to be honest with one another in real time, and how trust is built through presence, attention, and the willingness to stay with what’s uncomfortable.

    In this episode, Alison is joined by Corina Ocanto, a workplace strategist who has spent her career translating human needs into environments where people can thrive.

    Season 2 / Ep. 04: Luck as a Superpower

    In this episode, Alison sits down with Rachael Dietkus, a social worker and designer whose practice challenges the false divide between care and design.

    Season 2 / Ep. 03: Sisterhood?

    In this episode, Alison sits with her lifelong friends — Norma, Delia, and Vanessa — women who have known her through every version of herself.

    Season 2 / Ep. 02: I’m Gonna Win

    In this episode, Alison sits with filmmaker and storyteller Elaine Del Valle, whose debut feature Brownsville Bred captures the beauty and brutality of growing up in 1980s Brooklyn.

    Season 2/ Ep. 01: Explore Test Wander Emerge

    This episode explores the edges of uncertainty with Jessie Shefrin — a conversation about wandering, testing, stumbling, and ultimately emerging into new clarity. Jessie reflects on the sparks that shape us, those fleeting moments of sensation that accumulate into transformation. Together, the dialogue traces how luck, timing, and openness weave into leadership and design, offering listeners a meditative space to consider their own turning points and the practices that help us stay open to what might emerge.

    Hella Justice

    In this final episode of season one, Jacqui and Alison reflect on the times with Quinnton Harris, one of the founders of Hella Creative – the team behind the Hella Juneteenth movement. We talk about his incredible journey, the importance of Juneteenth not just as a day, or a moment, but a call for organizational change. How we can continue to grow, listen, learn, do much better, and make the hire.

    The Future is Bright

    Episode 11 is part two of the conversation about Design Operations and where we are heading. In this episode, Jacqui and Alison go broad and extensive (and somewhat meandering ) about future opportunity areas for Design Operations and how we, as design leaders, can lead the charge in laying the groundwork for that future. We charge forward into the unknown with the responsibility to consider society, ethics, customer experience, and the employee experience. Discuss.
