In this episode, Alison sits down with Rachael Dietkus, a social worker and designer whose practice challenges the false divide between care and design. Together, we talk about luck not as chance or magic, but as something built through persistence, timing, and the quiet work of showing up for others.

In this episode, Jacqui and Alison share some real talk about failures and learnings. Falling down and getting back up — because we’re gonna fall down a lot. Especially as the trailblazers in the nascent discipline of DesignOps (in a relatively nascent field), we are going at it alone, which makes that failure feels so much more acute.
