About this episode
Iris Dunbar discusses her pioneering role in design and the importance of creativity and resilience.
As one of the first women to occupy a leadership role within a global design practice, and founder of the Interior Design School, Dunbar has been instrumental in laying the path for successive generations of designers. She discusses why creativity belongs to everyone, why failure is just another possibility and why an idea's only as good as making it happen.
