Design Deep Dive, with psychologist Dr. Suzan Ahmed (Dr. Za), explores how we relate to our environments + place, from our homes to our hometowns, from the built environment to our planet. By deeply understanding our relationship to place, we can create a more conscious relationship to these spaces + the world around us. Each episode, I interview guests to discuss various topics across the spectrum of design + psychology, as well as share my own experiences with place. When we can awaken to our relationship to place, we can work towards designing a more inclusive, safe, and just world.
