Dan: I Didn’t Study Design, But Now I Live It

This week on Behind the Future, Dan, a Product Designer at LAB, joins us to share how he navigated uncertainty in his early career, from studying engineering to landing in consultancy, before discovering a passion for design.

Dan talks about falling into roles by accident, learning the power of design thinking, and how his consulting background helped him build people-first digital experiences.
