Interview with Dr Scott Mayson

I teach Industrial Design at RMIT University in Melbourne Australia. I am in the School of Design at RMIT where we take a creative response to design that is underlined through people centred design.

An key and important discipline that leads change from highest levels to transform peoples lives and improves how they have natural and open access to transformative tools and systems.

Designs that have a connection with people and their contribution to society, as well as designs that aim to improve peoples lives at every level in society.

I definitely admire work of dieter rams and Charles and Ray Eams. The exploratory work by architects and designers that push the technolological boundary’s of our digital capability always excites my mind to explore new ways of thinking about design practice.

I defiantly like the challenge of designing for additive manufacturing (3d printing) that pushes the boundaries of the technology. Methods that challenge conventional paradigms of these technologies to produce unique and optimised solutions for society.

Aspects that focus on the users and their needs.

Excitement and surprising emotions

It brings a smile and peaceful moment to realise the levels of exacting detail and critical thinking required to realise a design.

That is meets an users needs, one that surpasses their expectations and excites a users’s Imagination.

A design that has been realised and created that connects with people beyond first months, one that stands up to its core beliefs and improves our lives.

To create designs that embrace past artisan skills bhich inturn connect with us and our future. Products should infiltrate our lives creating a generational connection and avoiding mass consumerism.

One that solves material use and empties the land and sea of plastic.

From nature and watching how people over come adversity.

It’s one that is linked to improving the human condition, that talks key aspects from nature to develope highly optimised forms that reduce material consumption.

I’m and Australian. It’s important to recognise the first peoples of our land and their continual contribution to society.

In an inclusive and reflective way. To understand diversity of ideas and contributions that connection personal ideas throughout the design process.

To understand why they have engaged a creative professional to assist in realising their ideas and goals as an organisation.

To develope your own unique style that strives to excell in their chosen profession.

A reflective team and generous reflective people are critical to success.
