“Lauren is a most impressive individual who has already made a name for herself within the field of service design, although she is still a postgraduate student. She takes initiative, acts to the highest professional standards and has a wide and thorough understanding of her field. A prodigious blogger and networker, Lauren is great at making connections – human, intellectual and creative. We selected Lauren as one of four postgrad students to work on a project for a major European telecoms company. We expected the very highest standards – and she delivered!”
Professor Mike Press, Professor of Design Policy and Head of School
“Lauren Currie worked as a service designer at DesignThinkers and she made a lasting impression. She is one of the most energetic and talented people I have ever met and she keeps inspiring us with her insights and her fresh take on things.”
Arne van Oosterom, Owner and Service Design Consultant at DesignThinkers, lecturer and chairman of the Service Design Network Netherlands (Service Design Netwerk Nederland).
“Lauren Currie is a creative, motivated and organised designer who is currently working on making herself a voice to be heard within Service Design. Lauren seizes opportunities to broaden her knowledge and skills base – she has undertaken a number of placements/live projects in the past year including research for Deutsche Telekom’s t-labs in Berlin as part of a design team from the University of Dundee. Lauren is a great networker and presenter and has frequently been called on to mentor undergraduate students, present to staff and outside agencies alike. Lauren has a very bright future ahead of her.”
Hazel White, Program Director at University of Dundee
“…because of all that richness, the thing I value about Red Jotter is the range of things she covers, of the sense I have of her being a guide in a slightly unfamiliar landscape, pointing to the things we all see everyday and helping her readers see them the way she does. So it’s not that there is a single post or posts that I immediately want to point to, it’s that following what she writes as a whole makes the landscape more familiar.”
“Lauren is a furnace of energy and ideas who is always at pains to share insight with others and invariably a pleasure to converse with. If you have ever the opportunity to work with her, seize it.”
Adam StJohn Lawrence, Experience Designer
“… it would be so beneficial for the design world if there were more people like you who took a step back from what they were doing and realised the potential that comes with helping graduates. You’re quite an inspiration!”
Dave Cuvelot, Graphic Design Graduate
“I really admire everything that Redjotter has done this past year for the field of service design! For me personally, reading about her classes and endeavors on the MDes course at the University of Dundee via her blog, was an inspiration to travel across the Atlantic and also study at the University of Dundee! Effecting one life in that way is HUGE, now think about effecting dozens++ of lives in that way! In this changing design landscape we need super-connectors and info hubs like Redjotter to show us the way. Keep helping us make service sense!”
Cora, a Master of Design Student at Dundee University
