Clever Ep. 116: Human-Centered Designer Ayse Birsel
Ayse Birsel thought she’d become a lawyer until a revelation with a teacup enlightened her to the principles and practice of design. Listen!
In this episode of Clever, recorded for the WantedDesign Online Conversation Series, Amy Devers talks to industrial designer Ayse Birsel, who grew up thinking she’d become a lawyer until a revelation with a teacup enlightened her to the principles and practice of design. Always a playful soul, her essence of playfulness is an important part of her creative process – a process she’s used to design award-winning products as well as to help people design a life and work they love. Now, she shows us an optimistic way to lean into the transformative opportunities that are inherent in these challenging times.
