This episode features a conversation with host, Rhonda Willers, and guest, Olivia House, a Black designer based in Chicago. Social change is at the core of her practice, and Olivia uses design to teach, heal, and build community.
You’ll hear how a realization prompted a summer-long research project that became so much more. She describes her immersive research approach to her project: Where are all the black designers?
Olivia and Rhonda talk about what advocacy looks like in combination with design and about how a little seed of agency grew in her and can grow in each of us to realize our own capacity to create change.
