Australian Design Radio

Episode 84 with James de Vries on Sea Change and See Change In this episode we spoke with James de Vries, Principal Director of Strategy at Second Road. James has recently returned to Australia after six years working as Creative Director at Harvard Business Review, where his role centred around raising the voice of design and building the value and effectiveness of design in the company. We spoke about the contrast between high school and design school, learning that design could be a lightning rod for strategy, how an understanding and sensitivity to good typography makes a good designer, starting a deluxe with his wife, working in the newspaper industry and learning to ‘speak editorial’ and also design, strategy and management. We also dove into his time at HBR, working with Fairfax and his new role at second road.
