Designing for Longevity with Sheng-Hung Lee: Embracing AI, Empathy, and Growth

Welcome to another episode of the Human Centered Design Network Podcast. We meet Sheng-Hung Lee and discuss key issues in the design industry, including the importance of empathy, AI's impact on design processes, and the challenges of ageism. We advocate for valuing older designers' wisdom and promoting continuous learning through personal projects, known as the 5% rule. The conversation highlights the need for adaptable, growth-minded design teams and a shift from designing for retirement to designing for longevity. We emphasise design's strategic and philosophical aspects and call for greater societal recognition and investment in design, urging designers to build their personal brand and focus on their impact.
