Tom Metcalfe - What does it mean to be a designer?

This week I’m joined by Tom Metcalfe — interdisciplinary designer, researcher and educator. Tom’s journey into design wasn’t linear — from rally driving to getting into product design at DJCAD through clearing at 21. Since then he's had a yo-yo relationship with Dundee. From Dundee to London (via New Designers and Random International), then Bristol for 10 years and now back. Along the way, he’s developed a design practice rooted in place, interaction and thoughtful design. We get into what it means to be a designer, the split between ways of seeing and ways of making and how design education really needs a shake up. 🔗 tom.scot 📷 @sky_over_fife
