Prowl Breaks Barriers: Gender, Design & Sustainability

from Once Upon a Planet

Jon and Verda dive into the intersection of gender, sustainability, and regenerative futures in industrial design. We’re joined by two powerhouse designers, Baillie Mischler, Founder at PROWL, and Lauryn Menard, CEO of GOB. Together, we explore the challenges and opportunities for women in industrial design, the systemic gender biases embedded in everyday products, and the urgent need for diverse voices in shaping the future of design. We also discuss what a ‘regenerative future’ means and how companies like PROWL and GOB are pushing the boundaries of sustainability.RESOURCES AND FURTHER READING·  Women in Design: Building Diversity in Industrial Design (IDSA)·  “Shrink It and Pink It”: Gender Bias in Product Design (Harvard  Advanced Leadership)·  PROWL – A Female-Founded Industrial Design Studio·  GOB EARTH – Regenerative Material Innovation· The book Jon and Verda are reading:  Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado PerezSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
