In a captivating interview with People Matters, Ayse Birsel — designer, creative director, speaker and author of Design the Life You Love, tells us about her journey of becoming an industrial designer and how she extends her design principles to enable people & organizations to design a better future.
Ayse Birsel is the co-founder and Creative Director of Birsel + Seck, an empathy-driven product design studio in New York City that partners with Fortune 500 clients to bring innovation to market.

In this enticing conversation, Ayse shares the philosophy behind her design principles and how she uses her design process to create a meaningful life.
“Life, just like a design problem, is full of constraints — time, money, age, location, and circumstances. You can’t have everything, so you have to be creative to make what you want and what you need co-exist. This requires thinking differently, like a designer. – Ayse Birsel
