This podcast is focussed on shining a light on the tricky stages between education and employment and also covers moving careers into Design. We realise it’s not a simple career to break into, and I myself can totally relate to this, and often reflect back on the time (a long time ago when I struggled for a few years to catch a break). 

In this episode I chat with Sindhu Bhat, a service design student from Bangalore in India but based in Ireland. Sindhu contacted me recently to speak to her class about service design and we instantly connected - I was inspired about the journey from Film School in India that took her to IBM as an Experience Designer. This led her to reevaluate and return to study, move across the world to study service design. We chat about some of complexities that Sindhu has overcome to date in her career, and also what the future holds for her as she embarks on the next chapter of her career as a service designer - what problems she sees and what she plans to do to tackle them.

Since then Rebekah has successfully transitioned into her first design role and is now the Chapter Lead for This is HCD in Sydney where she’s hosting events for the human-centred design community out there.

It’s a great episode that takes you on the journey from being introduced to Design via her job at Accenture in Ireland all the way through to hopping on a flight to Australia and training and landing her first job as a designer.

On the show today, we have Aiden McGale, one of Ireland’s leading Design talent recruiters, and founder of DesignTalent.ie - a job board that connects talent directly to businesses. He’s doing things a little bit differently, and is connecting Design Leaders directly with emerging talent through his portfolio review series in Dublin, something that is picking up speed. We speak about the chasm between education and the real world, and how to connect directly with businesses. We speak about attitudes, and also the question I get asked a lot “should I take just any job?”
