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.

Exploring the Service Design Global Conference in Helsinki
The Service Design Global Conference (SDGC) is heading our way at pace and its now only a month until the mass ranks of over 1,000 service designers make their way to Finland for three days talk, studio visits and sauna.
In this bonus episode SDN's David Russo gives us a guided tour of the venue, keynote speakers and SDN sauna etiquette (towels on vs. towels off*).
This year SDGC will focus on Designing for Impact: "Strategic Leadership with Service Design”. Focusing on outcomes over output, we use our tools to move the needle for organisations, leading to real, recognised value.
Over the next weeks we'll be launching a series of #SDGC24 bonus episodes to fan the flames of excitement as we ramp up to conference frenzy.
We look forward to seeing you all in Helsinki.
