Today I’m joined by Zefa Mongan.
Zefa is Associate Director at MCM, based in London. MCM is a design practice specialising in architecture, interior design, workplace strategy and behavioural change. Zefa is passionate about encouraging a new generation of designers, which is how we originally introduced. So … I’m excited to learn about Zefa’s career journey and what being a designer means to him.

During 2020 in my role as design director at naughtone, I was prompted to look at the diversity within the design department at naughtone. Ultimately it was not a diverse group. I did not consider this intentional, rather a more accurate representation of those actually applying for roles in design. This got me thinking more broadly about how anyone finds their way into design careers?
Working in design has been immensely rewarding for me on so many levels. The people, travel, challenges and feeling like you can make a change and contribute in a meaningful way.
If I can, I’d now like to help others find their way into and enjoy this fantastic vocation. Hopefully they’ll help solve tomorrow’s problems along the way.
