Ep24. The New Designer: Rejecting Myths & Embracing Change with Manuel Lima
Today, I’m chatting with Manuel Lima, a UX design thought leader, author, and leading figure in visual culture development, the intersection between art and technology, and data visualisation. Manuel Lima's latest book, The New Designer: Rejecting Myths, Embracing Change, challenges traditional notions of design by emphasizing designers' ethical responsibilities in today's society. In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore how design shapes not just what we see but also how we live, think, and interact with the world around us. Manuel dismantles traditional design paradigms and presents a compelling case for designers to embrace their role as architects of change, addressing crucial challenges at personal, societal, cultural, and environmental levels.
