There are designers who make things look better. There are designers who make things work better. Guidione Machava is the designer who makes teams collaborate better. Guidione brings his experience as a Product Designer, Creative Leader, and Community Builder to this episode. From World Bank projects, scrappy startups, and non-profits across the continent, Guidione commits his time to systems, products and services that have a positive impact on people's lives.

In this episode, we talk to Guidione Machava, an entrepreneur, designer and author from Mozambique. Guidione prides himself in being a community builder, is the host of the World Class Designer Podcast, and recently organised the World Class Designer Conference which drew speakers and attendees from a diverse pool of the world’s leading companies to exchange ideas, insights, and lessons with designers across the continent.

Guidione Machava is an entrepreneur, designer and community builder. He has experience leading teams, coaching designers, and creating together products and services that positively impact people’s lives. He works across diverse industries and sectors, bringing early ideas and concepts to life for World Bank projects, scrappy startups and nonprofits in Africa. He is the author of “Design Sutra'', a collection of design principles for designers in the early stages of their careers and founded the World-class Designer School, the home of brightest design minds in Africa.

Africa emerged from decades of political-social problems, wars, natural catastrophes, amongst other phenomena that influenced its late development. The continent with the world's highest poverty rate has grown to 5.6% per year over the past few years. But, on the other hand, more than half of the world’s population growth in 2050 is projected to occur in Africa, increasing the continent’s population to 2.5 billion people. And many of these will be young job seekers – the median age in Africa will be 25.4 years in 2050.

Vou conversar com o Guidione Machava que atua no mercado Africano do Design e do Desenvolvimento. Que características fazem um bom Designer? Como avançar na carreira e como construir um Networking ativo? Estes são alguns pontos que iremos conversar. Vem com a gente!
