Ray started his career in industrial design, graphic design and advertising before discovering and being captivated by the beautiful world of building products.
After over 10 year of managing and growing design, research and content teams; he now leads product and design for the consumer face of Back Market, a renewed tech marketplace leading the way in a shift toward a circular economy and freeing the planet from electronic waste.
What does it mean to be a human-centred design leader in the midst of human-created climate change? What can we do in our own companies and teams, and as a profession, to help? How might we apply our unique strengths and resources, such as design process, craft, and empathy, to this multi-faceted challenge through the work we’re already doing? Or the work we might choose to take on?
Ray and Julia will explore these topics and more, in conversation.
