Welcome to the final episode of Design Voices Elevated for Season 1. For this final episode, I went to Amsterdam to meet Birgit Geiberger, Global Head of Product UX Design - Domain Ventures & Services at IKEA. Birgit and I met at her home, where she showed me her art and experiments with her garden.
We talked about her career choices, pivotal moments and learnings. We explored what it takes to be a good leader and how to maintain a sense of purpose within corporate life. Birgit holds a robust set of values that have guided her choices and a strong dedication to the community. Her stories are truly inspirational for both leaders and practitioners.

I’m very glad to share a new episode of Design Voices Elevated featuring Sabari Majumdar. Sabari is originally from India and has been living in London for over a decade. She is a design leader with mixed experience in consulting and in-house, today at Booking.
Together we discussed how to deal with difficult stakeholders, how to make change happen in an organisation while adhering to your own personal values and passions, and most importantly how to be a good leader independently from your job title or seniority.

Welcome to a new episode of Design Voices Elevated, the series that brings you the perspectives of women leading design in organisations. Today, my guest is Remya Ramesh, whom I met at her apartment in West London. We discussed the beginning of her career, moving from India to Australia, with limited language proficiency and an engineering degree. We discussed her early development, her move into design, and how she managed to leverage every opportunity she got to learn, grow, and shine. Her story is one of determination, I think. She is humble and reflective, and I absolutely loved talking to her.

In this episode of Design Voices Elevated, Öznur and I discuss pivotal moments in her career and approach to leadership. We particularly uncover her transition from Google to Genomics England. In these two very different organisational environments, Öznur has maintained a focus on healthcare, but while at Google, she dealt with specific healthcare products; at Genomics England, she oversees the design of an entire service portfolio. Her approach and her leadership had to follow that shift, and we explored how.

The second episode features Bethany Jarroussié, a design leader with over 25 years of experience in the field. Two things truly resonated with me from our conversation. Firstly, Bethany’s ability to create her own opportunities, going after those fearlessly, eventually being recognised as an expert in that field. It’s something that a lot of us could use in our careers. Secondly, Bethany is an advocate for social mobility, having herself had an unusual upbringing; she is really for opening opportunities to folks independently from their credentials, education, or background. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode.
