28: ‘Design through the Lens of Culture’

I invite you to look at design through the lens of Culture, with Olga Skoczylas. Olga is a Cultural Economist and co-owner of the Design Agency ‘Cultural Design’. In this episode, we cover culture, what it means and why it’s important but we don’t stop there. She has this innate obsession to create domain names and attach projects of all shapes and sizes to them. To that point, the conversation takes an unexpected detour past blockchain, brutalist design, innovation and art.
