On this episode of The Tattooed Teacher Podcast, I talk withNila Rezaei, an industrial designer and educator, who shares her journey from Iran to Australia and her work in design. We discuss her project 'Crafted Liberation', which responds to social issues, particularly the plight of women in Iran. The conversation explores the intersection of design, social impact, and sustainability, emphasizing the importance of storytelling and material culture in creating meaningful change. We cover the evolving landscape of design, emphasizing the importance of sustainability, multidisciplinary approaches, and the integration of AI. We also discuss the significance of design thinking, the necessity of empathy in the design process, and the valuable lessons learned from failures. Nila shares insights on how designerscan better understand human needs and the impact of their work, while also challenging listeners to design for experiences outside their own.
