Designed for Life - In conversation with Reianna Shakil Designed for Life

In this first podcast of 2024, we are delighted to be in conversation with  Reianna Shakil, UKRI Young Innovators Awards 22/23 Winner | Multidisciplinary Designer | Founder + Director of Studio ZRX.

In this conversation, we cover Reianna's journey from school through how she overcame problems when her funding ran out part way through her sixth form course and then how she had to find ways to manage her way through her degree, being diagnosed with Combined Type ADHD part way through her studies.

This is a story of perseverance. Many people, faced with some of the issues that Reianna has encountered, would have thrown their arms in the air and found an easier pathway. You will learn this is not Reianna's way; she has dug in and found a way to achieve what she set her heart on from the start.

This is a heartwarming pod for the start of the year and one that I think you will enjoy. 

So sit back, grab that last slice of Christmas cake that is ruining your New Year's diet and enjoy Designed for Life - in conversation with Reianna Shakil. 

Huge thanks, as always, to The Edge Foundation for their continued support of this podcast.
