On today's show, we're exploring some intriguing themes:

  1. The Evolution of a Designer's Journey: We delve into the transformation from a focus on neuroscience and biomedical engineering to a passion for human-centred design. This journey highlights the shift from understanding the brain's workings to designing for it, emphasizing the importance of designing with human needs and experiences at the forefront.

  2. The Significance of Inner Development in Design: The discussion emphasizes the crucial role of personal growth and self-awareness in the design process. We explore how understanding oneself as a designer can profoundly impact the effectiveness and sustainability of design solutions.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
