Episode 532 - Sam Viotty

Revision Path

We’re exploring the intersections of design, music, and social impact with this week’s guest, Sam Viotty. Not only is Sam an extremely knowledgeable program and experience designer, but she’s also the co-owner of a record label and she’s an adjunct professor at Loyola’s Quinlan School of Business. And that’s just scratching the surface! We started off by defining program design and experience design, and from there Sam talked about her label, Rosedale Collective, and her dedication to showcasing BIPOC voices in country music. She also dove into her previous work at The Obama Foundation, and how that opened her world to the importance of design in project management and social innovation (and for starting her own company, Viotty Design Studio). Sam even talked a bit about her current role at Adobe, and shared her plans on what she hopes to accomplish in the near future. Sam’s career is a lesson in how we can all reshape our perspective on the conventional borders of design — something important to learn in this ever-changing world! ========== For extended show notes, including a full transcript of this episode, visit https://revisionpath.com. ========== DONATE: Click or tap here to make either a one-time or monthly donation to help keep Revision Path running strong. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KWBSJZ7GXRQQS Thank you for your support! ========== FOLLOW: Like this episode?
