For Design Indaba’s 25th Edition, Finnish empathy designer and Global Graduate Enni-Kukka Tuomala challenged the audience to rethink empathy beyond a passive feeling, but as an active design outcome. Based in London and trained in Global Innovation Design at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London, Tuomala uses design as a tool for breaking down social barriers, fostering dialogue and addressing what she describes as the world’s growing “empathy deficit”.
