While Design Observer has by no means shied away from tough conversations, the editors acknowledge that this content could also be tough for some listeners. Content Warning: Violence, killing, and loss of life are discussed in this episode. It can be onerous to find somebody who wants to share house with a mosquito killer. Hence, the creation of the electric bug zapper fly zapper. But as designers, how will we deal with what lives and what doesn’t? On this episode of The Futures Archive Lee Moreau and Sloan Leo go deep on how human-centered design doesn’t at all times mirror humanity. With further insights from David MacNeal, Juliano Morimoto, Spee Kosloff, Paula Antonelli, and Lindsay Garcia. There is a need for people to exert their authority, however there can be a necessity for us to exert our love. The factor that I hope we hold house for is: That is all practice because it’s not going to be resolved, and it shouldn’t be.

That will create some sort of stagnancy. Life is definitely about holding house for dynamism, changes and cycles.

And this week, while we’re still speaking about design, we’re going to be speaking about some pretty critical issues. And so I want to make sure that everybody who’s listening is aware of that is in an excellent place when they’re listening. And i encourage you to check our show notes previous to listening to the episode so you perceive the context of what we’re talking about and prepare ourselves a bit. Beyond that, I welcome you to the dialog and i hope you discover this conversation as powerful because it was for us. And i thanks for listening. Welcome to The Futures Archive, a show about human centered design the place this season, we’ll take an object, look for the human at the middle and keep asking questions.

… and I am Sloan Leo. On every episode we’re going to start with an object with power. Today the thing is the UV bug zapper fly zapper. We’ll look at the historical past of that object from our perspective, as designers who’ve completed work in human centered design. Not just how it appears and feels and sounds and smells, but in addition the connection between that object and the individuals it was designed for… … and with other people too. The Futures Archive is brought to you by the design team at Automattic. Later on, we’ll hear from Vanessa Riley Thurman, a member of Automattic’s Designer Experience Team. Sloan Leo, outdoor bug zapper it’s fantastic to see you once more. Thanks for joining us. Lee, it is a thrill to be here. So I’m wondering-for this specific episode, outdoor bug zapper I’m wondering if you may inform me a little bit bit about your historical past as a child with bugs and insects. Where you this form of like, like kid that like beloved the creepy crawly stuff?
