Service Design YAP
Service Design YAP is a community podcast from Service Design Network UK's chapter.
Each episode profiles a member of the design community, exploring the lessons they've learned on their career path and the hearing their favourite design war stories.
Why did we set up YAP?
Well, many designers work in isolation and find it difficult to attend physical community meets ups. The podcast provides a way for everyone to tap into the community, to learn a little about craft and careers and to feel a part of something bigger.
Why is the podcast called YAP?
Well thats for us to know and you to guess.
We hope that these episodes inform, inspire and entertain you in equal measure.
If you have a suggestion for great guest the drop us a line. There's a "Send us a Text" link in every episode.

How can designers tackle the climate crisis with Aurelie Lionet from Design Declares.
How can Design help society to tackle the climate crisis? Find out in this episode featuring Aurelie Lionet, one of the founders of Design Declares .
Aurelie shares the 8 Acts that we should all sign up to if we're going to make a difference to the fate of the planet and also shares stories that include how she wound up spending time in a UK jail (as part of a design research initiative, obviously).
In the podcast, Aurelie also mentions the work of Muhammad Yunus, who she credits with encouraging her to pursue a purposeful design path. He's well worth looking into.
She also states that Project Drawdown is one of her favourite sources. This comprehensive site provides a great list of climate friendly solutions from alternative concrete through to peatland protection and rewetting.
Thanks also to our next gen designer, Ada Maymó Costa for asking Aurelie about the key to starting a purposeful movement.
Service Design YAP is developed and produced by the Service Design Network UK Chapter.
Its aim is to engage and connect the wider Service Design community.
