Hello and welcome to Bringing Design Closer. Our goal is to have conversations that inspire and to help move the dial forward for organisations to become more human-centred in their approach to solving complex business and societal problems. In this episode I speak with Melis Senova author of This Human and soon to be published book, Design Character. On Meliss' website they say “I help leaders find a deeper source to fuel their potential for leading others to have great impact in the world.” And we speak openly about Melis’s own journey of self-discovery and journey that has led her to a Phd in Human Centered Design, Co-Founding Huddle and now running her community for designers, titled This Human. Before we jump in, I have a favour to ask. I've been creating content for This is HCD for over 5-years or so, all for the love of sharing knowledge to the global design community. One thing you could do is leave a review (preferably a 5-star one!), as it helps us grow our community - every little helps. Even if you don’t review, you can go one better by telling people you work with about the podcast.
