This Is Hcd - Human Centered Design Podcast

Welcome to This is HCD. In this episode, we chat with Sidney Debaque, a service designer and strategist, about integrating sustainability into design. Sidney discusses his journey into using design for good, balancing value-aligned work with financial needs, and the challenges of embedding sustainability in organisations. We emphasise using design principles to promote sustainability, the importance of both top-down and bottom-up approaches, and empowering users. The conversation also highlights transparency, localism, iterative design processes, and the responsibility of designers to advocate for ethical practices. Sidney concludes by sharing his plans to launch a consultancy focused on reducing environmental impact and fostering sustainable behaviours. linkedin.com/in/sidneydebaque Become a member: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/circle-a-community-for-ethically-conscious-designers-changemakers Book a Coaching Chemistry Call: https://calendly.com/gerryscullion/coaching-chemistry-call
