This is the IxDA Sydney Podcast. A show that guides you through the stages of design journey, whether you are just starting out and looking to find your feet, or you're a seasoned designer. Join us where we speak to design thinkers, and design doers.
We can't guarantee answers, just better questions!
Join Vinita and Sam in our last episode of the series, as they reflect on their IxDA podcasting journey.
The IxDA podcast emerged in 2022 as a unique approach to the IxDA Sydney mentoring program, interviewing design leaders around career progression and mentoring. This year we've delved more into the 'zeitgeist of design', covering topics from Web3 to design accessibility.
We'll be taking a short break from the podcast while the team focuses on delivering an amazing program for Interaction 24.
