My guest this episode is my friend, ex-colleague and coffee chat buddy, Chris Hayward. We've often had long, fascinating conversations that I wish we had recorded afterwards, so that's exactly what this is. Chris talks about his work and training as a design anthropologist, what designers can learn from theory and literature, telling the stories of research. And we talk a lot about airports and toilets.
