We had a blast interviewing Sydney Johnson and Kristofer Kelly-Frere from Canada-based studio J5 Design. We talked about the importance of empowering empathy in design, how to coach for impact and how to create meaningful connections between diverse stakeholders.

Chu-Yi Vuong — winner of the Service Design Award 2022 for Best Student Project — came up with a service to nudge sustainable choices to consumers. We welcome her in our studio in Ghent to talk about her thesis, her journey into the world of service design and her job as a service designer at IBM iX. Learn how her innovative solution, "Save," can make it easier for consumers to shop for groceries with sustainability in mind.

We continue the keynote talk of Dr. Leyla Acaroglu backstage at the Service Design Global Conference in Copenhagen. We discuss sustainability, systemic change and most of all, actionable steps for us, service designers and humans to make a difference. Take in her inspiration for activating your agency.

In this episode, we share a heartfelt chat with two amazing people from the organising team of the Service Design Global Conference: Peter Nørregård from Playful Innovations and Christina Melander from the Danish Design Chapter. Tune in to discover what designing for good means for them, and why having courage as a designer is so important—now maybe more than ever.

Tune in to this special episode where Stina and David pass the torch to Laurens and Jeroen and welcome them as new hosts of the SDP. Listen to them reflecting on how Service Design has changed since the beginning of the Service Design Podcast. We also talk about the change in hosts and what challenges Stina and David are taking on instead!
