Today I’m joined by Kirsty Whyte. Kirsty has been working for over 10 years in various disciplines in design. She is currently a Brand and Design Director and has held previous roles as Director of product innovation and Creative Director. On top of all of this Kirsty has also founded her own luxury watch brand and Design studio.
Kirsty has had a busy and varied career so far, I’m looking forward to hearing about how she has turned creativity into a job.
I’m Kieron Bakewell, the host and founder of Work In Design. I’ve worked as a designer since 2003. In 2005 I co-founded the furniture company naughtone. My skills and passions are predominantly in design, although I have picked up business skills along the way!

During 2020 in my role as design director at naughtone, I was prompted to look at the diversity within the design department at naughtone. Ultimately it was not a diverse group. I did not consider this intentional, rather a more accurate representation of those actually applying for roles in design. This got me thinking more broadly about how anyone finds their way into design careers?
Working in design has been immensely rewarding for me on so many levels. The people, travel, challenges and feeling like you can make a change and contribute in a meaningful way.
If I can, I’d now like to help others find their way into and enjoy this fantastic vocation. Hopefully they’ll help solve tomorrow’s problems along the way.
