22.01.2022 The first Friday of the month is PODCAST day! So many concepts that people have that are products of the imagination and often quite wonderful don’t exist because somebody has decided the market isn’t big enough. In this episode, Ben Redford, Inventor and Co-Founder of Mayku, discusses the cultural and social impact of decades of mass manufacturing. We talk about the rise of the ‘Maker movement’ and how it’s changing the manufacturing industry by igniting human resourc...efulness and creativity. Produced by MAKE Studios, The Reinvention Podcast takes a look at the things that are broken in the world and explores ways to fix them through a series of conversations, stories and adventures with inspiring people who are doing things differently. https://www.makestudios.com.au/learn/trip-s1-e5-ben-redford #thereinventionpodcast #mayku #innovation #makermovement #makerculture #manufacturing

22.01.2022 As we head into NAIDOC week, we acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and that this Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal land. As service designers and humans, we’re thinking about our role in healing racial inequality and the systems that uphold it, and in creating new systems of inclusion and regeneration. And as always, we are looking for what each of us can do today to take action and start to make change: Support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesse...s check out Supply Nation and Trading Blak to find businesses in your local area. Make a donation to an Aboriginal-led organisation working for equality and justice. MAKE loves Children's Ground - an organisation that supports the transmission of cultural knowledge. Begin meetings or presentations with an Acknowledgement of country. In this year of video meetings, invite people joining from other parts of the country to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land they are calling in from. Find three Indigenous Australians to follow on your favourite social media platform to diversify your feed and the stories you're hearing. Reflect upon your own worldview and unconscious biases you might have. Do the work to challenge yourself and the mental models you carry with you. Visit National NAIDOC to learn more about Australia’s rich First Nations heritage, and to find out what’s on. Let us all make this week an opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal culture, pay our deepest respects, and commit to bringing this into the year ahead.

15.01.2022 Season 1 of The Reinvention Podcast is out today, launching with two stellar episodes (and a little peek behind the scenes)! In Episode 1, Tammy Bryant asks, What if the internet was built by women? As the co-founder of Girl Geek Academy and a Principal Site Reliability Engineer for Gremlin - a company specialising in chaos engineering - Tammy has spent a lot of time thinking about how the internet came to be what it is, who continues to shape it (spoiler alert: it’s mostly... men), and how to change that! In Episode 2, sustainability provocateur Leyla Acaroglu shares some hard truths that everyone should be aware of when it comes to consumer behaviour in a pandemic. Leyla is the founder of Disrupt Design in New York and Melbourne-based Eco Innovators, and she teaches people how to take action using design-led systems change at Unschool. Produced by MAKE Studios, The Reinvention Podcast takes a close look at the things that are broken in the world and explores ways to fix them through a series of conversations, stories and adventures with brave people who are doing things differently.

09.01.2022 We love to celebrate milestones with our partners! WorkSafe has now launched Safe Support to be available for all workers. Together in 2020, MAKE and WorkSafe developed Safe Support, a tool that focuses on building positive relationships between workers and clients, and creating an environment of respect, understanding and communication between different stakeholders. It serves as a guide to help individuals to openly share their needs and create boundaries, by starting conv...ersations about safety before it becomes a problem. Take a closer look: https://www.makestudios.com.au/ca/worksafe-community-safety #innovation #workplacesafety #systemdesign #humancentereddesign Designed with the health and social assistance community, the Safe Support tool is a resource for support workers, clients and their family or authorised persons to help in establishing safe and supportive professional relationships to avoid unsafe situations during an in-home support service.

06.01.2022 As designers, our role is to tell stories about the people who engage with our services, products and organisations, so its essential we’re able to convey how they feel. Drawing expressive people can be intimidating but it doesn’t have to be difficult. Simple lines can be used to mimic body language: Open arms and arms that take up space = assertive, positive postures... Closed arms and arms held close to the body = uncertain, more negative postures Try experimenting with your own combinations to tell your story. Learn more about drawing people (and basically anything else you like) at our next Drawing for Work workshops on September 22 and 24. Only a few spots left! https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/drawing-for-work-tickets-11
