Ep:#47 Sascha Mayer on how disruptive design can impact lives
How can design solve real world problems? And how can you use the knowledge and skills you have, to create something brand new on your terms? Today we’ll be talking with Sascha Mayer about how disruptive design can impact lives. Sascha is the CEO and co-founder of Mamava, a company on a mission to create a healthier society through infrastructure and support for breastfeeding. She is a mom to two, now, teenage children. But when she was breastfeeding her first and discovered the challenges mothers faced trying to breastfeed after returning to work, she realised she had to do something about it. The story is fantastic. One of, as they call themselves, reluctant entrepreneurs. We hear about how external factors can really push something into motion. The complexity of selling something that no one knows what it is. But something that is literally needed – everywhere. And about how breastfeeding is truly a complicated cultural conversation. There are some fantastic learnings and take aways in this chat – so definitely get stuck in. If you’re keen to find out more about Mamava, check them out here. So grab that favourite beverage.
