By unravelling these intricacies, Designer Talks offers a holistic view of the professional designer as a multifaceted individual with a unique blend of skills, traits, and perspectives.
Education becomes a focal point of discussion as well, with the podcast probing into the diverse educational backgrounds that designers bring to their practice. It explores the role of formal education, mentorship, and experiential learning in shaping a designer's trajectory, offering listeners a comprehensive understanding of the varied paths that lead individuals to become proficient in their craft.
Ultimately, the podcast seeks to illuminate the profound meaning that design holds for each featured professional. It goes beyond the superficial aspects of aesthetics and functionality, delving into the philosophical and personal dimensions of design. By providing a platform for designers to articulate their visions, beliefs, and philosophies, Designer Talks podcast captures the essence of design as a deeply personal and transformative journey. In essence, the podcast is a captivating journey that navigates the intricate landscapes of the design profession, offering a nuanced and multifaceted exploration of the individuals who shape and define the world through their creative endeavours.

    Designer Talks podcast Ep. 3 - Raymond Turner FCSD

    Designer Talks podcast asking designers, how they do it, why they do it and what makes them tick and what design means to them, hosted and produced by Lefteris Heretakis aCSDf.

    Raymond Turner FCSD has been described as ‘a thought leader’ (Sean McNulty, Chairman, Dolmen-design and innovation, Ireland); ‘a design legend’ (Clive Grinyer, Director of Customer Experience, Barclays Bank, UK); ‘an inspiration and mentor to many’ (James Berry, Director, Woods Bagot Architecture, UK); ‘one of the few who have dominated the profession of Design Management’ (the late Peter Gorb, Life Fellow of the DMI and Professor of London Business School); and having had ‘an illustrious career in design, design management and design leadership’ (Robert Blaich, former Design Director, Philips, USA).

    He is an internationally recognised authority on the strategic value of design leadership and management to business, government and society. Practical commercial experience of working in this area has been the focus of his career as a designer, design manager, consultant and corporate design director.

    His practical experience, and innate interpersonal and communication skills, enabled him to work successfully with large corporations and small to medium size businesses across a wide range of industries. These include transportation, construction and real estate development, local and national government, city planning, public broadcasting, banking and health insurance, industrial and domestic product manufacturing. His ability to work with multidisciplinary teams enables clients to maximise design effectiveness within strict financial and time constraints.
