Our founder, Stuart Harvey Lee, recently sat down with Chris Whyte for an in-person conversation on the Why Design podcast, produced by Kodu — a recruitment partner to ambitious hardware brands, design consultancies, and product start-ups.

In the episode, Stuart talks about the experiences that shaped his career — from rewiring motors and welding steel during an early apprenticeship, to founding Prime Studio and leading it for over 27 years. He reflects on how those hands-on beginnings shaped his thinking around design for manufacture and what still drives his passion for the work.

During the conversation Stuart and Chris discuss the do's and don'ts of job applications for young designers - from both a potential employer and a recruiter perspective.
