Connection Between Design and Grief

In this episode of Responsible Disruption, we sit down with Riley Ohler, whose journey through grief has profoundly shaped his approach to design. Hosted by Sydney Johnson, the conversation unfolds as Riley reflects on the loss of his son Colin and the unconventional path his family chose to navigate through it. He shares insights into how empathy becomes a driving force in projects that directly impact lives. Join us as we explore the transformative power of design, the delicate balance between process and humanity, and the lessons learned in grief that ripple through every aspect of Riley's life.

In the spirit of our journey to promote reconciliation, we would like to honour the truth of our shared history and acknowledge Treaty 7 territory and the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, that includes the Kainai, Siksika, and Piikani First Nations. We acknowledge the traditional lands of the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations. We would also like to recognize the Métis people, and the Inuit people who have made their home here in Mohk’insstsis, also known as Calgary.
