This week we have Giovanni de Grandis as our special guest, he is a philosopher working in the areas of responsible research and innovation, and coordinator of the Afino project. Today, he is speaking to us, not to bring answers or definitions, but to start the spark of new conversations about applied ethics between creatives.

How do you think a designer can start to get involved in applied ethics?

Oona is super curious about culture and collaboration, this calling has taken her to gain experience in SD and User Research across europe, Africa and North America. She will be one of the speaker for the Service Design Global Conference in Helsinki to talk about Crafting Services for Scalable Success by Cultivating Cultural Impact.

Enjoy the episode!

We'll be back in September with new episodes in Spanish and English each week. And we are looking forward to two special episodes that will be recorded at the service design global conference in Helsinki from the 2nd - 4th of October.

¡See you soon! And enjoy your summer!

Today we talk about the secret sauce to designing a global conference! From one side we have Elii the SDN Helsinki local chapter lead and conference experience lead, and on the other side, we have Adam, this year's Service Design Global conference director. We chat about local food, the Finnish design culture and the secret sauce for organizing such a big conference. I recommend you to listen to this episode and discover all the process and care that it’s being put into designing this conference experience.

In this episode, we dive into the design process of a food designer and have a sneak peek into a new business idea that our guest, Sewuese, is cooking! She is a researcher, entrepreneur and food designer. So prepare yourself a nice snack and enjoy the conversation about science, design, and food!

I tend to draw comparisons with design or whatever daily life situation I find similar. And when I met Wassim at improv theater, I couldn't make an exception. I found it fascinating to see how his work as a postdoc researcher in literature relates to design. So today, we have him as a guest, and we will explore the world of a literature researcher and find similarities between his work and design.

In this episode, we discuss the multicultural nature of Germany’s food, the importance of recognition and the Service Design Award, its inception, and some secrets to submitting an outstanding proposal! Our guest, Birgit Mager, brings lots of laughs and light into the episode. She’s one of the pioneers of building the mindset and market readiness for service design and the president of the Service Design Network.
