What Does Design Mean, and Can It Benefit Everyone?

In this episode, we embark on a journey to unravel the vast concept of design. Our conversation is with Dr. Laura Glory, a medical doctor who also wears the hats of an artist and poet.

Dr. Glory unveils how she seamlessly weaves design into her professional life, whether she's performing surgeries or tending to her patients. Her drawings and poems serve as instruments to enhance patients' emotional well-being and instill a sense of hope. In her perspective, the realms of medicine and design overlap in these moments.

This episode echoes the words: ‘Design is everywhere, design is for problem solving.’ How are you able to further your practice through design?

This is the 28th episode under the ‘Shifting Narratives’ program supported by the British Council SSA Arts.
