In March, Angie Tangaere, Kaitohu Tangata Whenua at The Lab, was part of a weekly learning series hosted by Julkis-muotoilijat.

Julkis-muotoilijat is a community of practice for designers and civil servants working in the Finnish government. The community's mission is to develop the impact, maturity and capabilities of design in government. 

In this conversation, Angie shares The Lab’s work and her perspective and insights on indigenous innovation.

Angie’s interview was recorded as a podcast, which you can listen to here.
