Lisa Mandemaker is a social designer with a strategic, contextually aware and critical approach to research and practice. She considers design as a tool for debate and crafts (future) narratives through designed artifacts, using these as a form of storytelling to challenge assumptions, question or excite. Making impactful, topical work and creating strong interventions and conversation starters are key elements to her practice. Her work centers on the effects of emerging technology on people and their behaviour. In this podcast Lisa elaborates about her working methods, and why we need designers to create new rituals.
