This week’s Better Future SPOTLIGHT episode with Fiona Triaca is not one to miss. Fiona is the Founder and CEO at Naked Ambition and together with our Founder Mark Bergin this episode probes and critiques the Australian design industry and questions how we can best shift the public’s understanding of design beyond the concept of ‘craft’.
Fiona and Mark are passionate about using design to solve the big issues of our society, both on a local and global scale. Part of this is tackling gender inequities and focussing on fixing low economic leverages for women and other minorities to increase socio-mobility. The conversation reaches into the Next and offers an exciting, hope-itarian vision of a better future. This is the Design Exec Club at its best.

In this episode of the Better Future SPOTLIGHT, our Founder Mark Bergin sits down with Richard Henderson of R-Co Brand for a generous conversation about their respective and collective expeditions into a better future.
Both Mark and Richard are "in the business of design, not in the design business" and they are interested in how we can all use design to "bring strategies to life". Their conversation champions imagination as the tool that catapults us out of the past and into the future. With imagination setting the foundation, they also discuss the excitement of the unknown, the power of collaboration, the transcendence of good culture, the necessity of vulnerability, and more.
Richard is ever-respectful of those on whose shoulders he stands and there is no doubt that his knowledge, and generosity in sharing it, will mean that many in turn will be standing on his shoulders as we head into a better future together.

In Episode 04 of the Better Future SPOTLIGHT Series, Mark is joined by Brian Collins - Chief Creative Officer at COLLINS - who is calling in from Massachusetts during the snowstorm. In discussing the idea of a Better Future, Brian and Mark look at how we got to Here and how we can move BeyondHere. It takes the willingness to act and make your imagination a reality - 'you can't talk your way into the future'. Throughout, they touch on sustainability and the importance of language, the precious creative potential of the 'unintentional', and the belief that 'design is not what we make, it is what we make possible'.
