Episode 10: Cat_Lam-Gender_And_Inclusivity_In_Design
Episode 10
Tuesday, 29 June, 2021

For the last episode of season 1, I am excited to feature Cat Lam. Cat has one of the most creative minds in the industry. As an archeologist turned footwear designer, Cat has a unique and intellectual approach to product design. That approach, combined with her think-outside-the-box brain, has landed her jobs at some of the most compelling brands in the industry, including Nike, Cole Haan, the Adidas Brooklyn Creator Farm and Crocs. On today's episode, I talk to Cat about gender and inclusivity in design. We discuss her perspective as a female Asian American footwear designer, the importance of leveraging your breadth of experiences to bring a fresh approach to a product, the importance of allyship and mentoring, and the effect of burnout within the female design community.
