176: Unabridged Interview: Carissa Carter and Scott Doorley

Episode • Oct 8, 2024 • 1h 7m

This is our unabridged interview with Carissa Carter & Scott Doorley.

We live in an era of runaway design, where tech that seemed to solve our problems has gone on to cause unintended consequences. Think about social media’s effect on our collective mental health. Or the once miraculous material known as plastic becoming an environmental hazard. But we can’t predict the future, so what can we do?

In this episode, designers from Stanford’s d.school, Carissa Carter & Scott Doorley, discuss their book “Assembling Tomorrow,” which thinks uniquely about design and offers ideas and practices for building and engaging with technology in a way that helps us flourish.
