Designing in the Anthropocene with Ben Reason

In this episode, I talked with Ben Reason, founding partner of pioneering service design studio Livework, created in London in 2001. Ben and I discussed Ben’s article “Designing in the Anthropocene”. Ben reflected on his journey from his early interest in triple bottom line and his current interest in sustainability. He discussed the tensions between theory and practice.  He also shared his thoughts on the role of designers as facilitators and the importance of multi-stakeholders collaborations to address complex problems like climate change.
