Lee Moreau is the host of the Design Observer podcasts Design As and The Futures Archive. He is also a Professor of the Practice of Design at Northeastern University and the founder and director of Other Tomorrows, a design and strategy consultancy based in Boston.

Lee is also the perfect guest to cap off the 12th season of DB|BD- a season that grappled with designing for the unknown. Lee faces the challenge of uncertainty head-on in his teaching, on his podcasts and in his consultancy practice.

In this unexpectedly emotional conversation with DB|BD host Ellen McGirt, Lee gets real about the state of design. He explains why design is a practice of reckoning with the past as much as it is of designing for the future. He also reflects on his conversations with other designers about balancing the threats and possibilities of AI. And he shares why he is cautiously optimistic that there will always be a place in our world for designers and design.

And stay tuned after the interview for Ellen’s season 12 recap!
