[gentle upbeat music] Welcome back to "In a Glimpse," a podcast where we talk about the emotion of awe and its relationship to design.

Ida is a designer, storyteller, and dreamer, passionate about using strategic design and storytelling in service of human and planetary flourishing.

In Ida's current role as a freelance social impact designer, she helps socially-minded companies and individuals challenge systems, imagine sustainable futures, and create inclusive and equity-centered tools, environments, and narratives.

Ida's practice exists at the intersection of design, social change, and the climate emergency.
