Design Mavericks

Design Mavericks is a global community and thinking space for senior designers, design leaders, and change-makers who believe design is not about polishing outputs, but shaping organisations. We explore design as leadership, governance, and decision-making in complex systems, from customer journey management and organisational change to AI-enabled enterprises. This is where design meets power, accountability, and long-term value. Through essays, conversations, peer sessions, and experiments, Design Mavericks challenges orthodoxies, surfaces what actually works inside organisations, and helps design leaders think systemically, act politically, and lead with intent. This is not about tools or trends. It’s about influence, impact, and the courage to design otherwise. If you’re done decorating the system and ready to change it, you’re in the right place.
