Episode Synopsis

Hi, I'm Allen Higgins, you're listening to Design Talk.I am delighted to have Anna Browne (née Brady) as my guest today, to talk about and reflect upon her career in code.·       To start, Anna, can you share some of the key milestones in your career thus far? (Influenced at UCD by Dr Joe Morris in his Program Construction class; he made us write code, on paper, it made us appreciate the value of simplicity, the value of thinking things through.)·       What for you, is the essence of design?o   Can you share your reflections on the design process?o   Is design ultimately a process of working alone on your own ideas. o   Talk about the difference between design as an individual and design in a team...·       How, if at all, has the changing technology environment changed the way you perform design?o   What do you insist on having in the physical work environment?o   How do you get people to share design knowledge? To attain/agree on shared understandings and design vision?·       As an educator yourself, what motivates you to advocate for maths and technology skills in students?o   What tips can you share from your experience of teaching maths and practical IT for adult learners? Ways of engaging them, making it real, that overcome blocks.·       And any final thoughts you'd like to share before we wrap up?Well, we’ll wrap up there.Thank you for sharing your ideas with us today.AcknowledgementsMusic Title: Voltaic FluctuationsArtist: Ben PruntySource:  https://www.benpruntymusic.com/License: Non-transferable license.
