Episode #067 - "Design Is Storytelling"

Welcome to this weeks episode!

As vice president of research and insights at OFS, Doug brings more than 15 years of experience collaborating with product and interior designers from around the globe. A well-respected and expressive thought leader in the design industry, Doug is also the host of the highly-rated Imagine a Place podcast that inspires connection and collaboration, while exploring the role place plays in people’s lives. He has hosted guests from Fortune 500 companies and aspiring entrepreneurs alike, facilitating authentic conversations about everything from the latest workplace trends to neuroscience and architecture. In addition to these accomplishments, Doug is a passionate storyteller and published children’s book author. He loves talking about his career and his four keys to personal growth (Humility, Creativity, Optimism, “Go Giver” Mentality), which he often shares with the younger professionals he mentors.

In this episode, Doug gives us a peek into his story as he shares what draws him to design, some lessons he’s learned as a podcast host, the value of design and he got me rethinking the idea of human centric design - to name a few. Doug's approach to his work and interactions are thoughtful. Our conversation reminded me why I enjoy meeting so many design professionals and sharing their unique stories!
