Episode 62
Christine Omorere & Roshu Shrestha || United In Design Part 2
Welcome to Episode 62 and a rather special follow up episode. Back in November 2020, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alexandra Dauley and Sophie Ashby co-founders of United in Design. United in Design is a charitable project working to tackle the lack of diversity in the design industries.
The conversation that we had was honest and moving. It was focused on practical action. It was about hope. And today we see hope realised in that we are joined by Christine Omorere and Roshu Shreshtha. They are both former United in Design apprentices.
They have recently worked on a very special project with Bernie de la Cuona, of de la Cuona, for the WOW!House at the Design Centre. We hear all about their backgrounds and the United in Design apprenticeship, how the collaboration with de la Cuona came about, the WOW!House and their plans for the future.
I had intended to pause the podcast for the summer but I think that what United in Design is doing is more than important. It is more than a ‘good deed’. It is the door to change. Lasting change. So enjoy this short and sweet bonus episode and ponder for a moment whether you might be able to nudge that door ajar.
