Season 2 of 
This Is A Prototype: The Design Leadership Podcast is underway! This opening episode is a special two-part discussion featuring design leaders 
Kate Aronowitz of 
GV (Google Ventures) and 
Robert Fabricant of 
Dalberg. 
In part 1, we dig into Kate’s and Robert’s design backstories, and discuss the growth and expansion of design as a practice and a profession in the last two decades, including the important issue of leadership succession. We also begin to explore Robert’s recent 
Fast Company articles about the state of design leadership. Part 2 of the episode will post in your podcast feed early next week.
