In this week’s episode, we sit down with one of Australia’s most respected industrial designers, Andrew Rogers. Whose career has shaped homes, workplaces, hospitals, and schools for nearly 40 years.
Andrew shares how a single inspiring teacher in 1976 lit the spark that would lead him to a lifetime of design excellence. From working with giants like Shell, Clipsal and founding his own multi award winning design house ARID.
Andrew’s story is packed with lessons in passion, persistence, and creative problem-solving.
We dive into:
- The importance of user-centered design
- How great products quietly shape our daily lives
- Why blending creativity, engineering, and technology is the future of innovation
Plus — the incredible journey of building his own company, ARID, and what it takes to stay at the cutting edge of industrial design.
If you love stories about visionaries who build the world around us, this one’s for you. Press play and get inspired.
