010 | Do You Believe in Magic? (Season Finale)

In our Season 1 finale, we uncover the creative and technical process behind HNI’s award-winning “Key Wizard” feature. Guest host Terese Acou is joined by Amanda Adams (HNI), Acuan Longatti (Encodec), and Vinicius Romano (Encodec) to explore how a spark of imagination turned into a real shipping product. We’ll dig into how teams collaborate, experiment, and adapt, as well as why a little bit of magic is always part of building something innovative.

009 | I'm not Steve (ft. CEO Stefan Persson)

So what is Configura really like? Who better to ask than our CEO? Join us as we get to know Stefan Persson (however you wish to pronounce "Stefan") and talk about our values, what makes Configura a great place to work, and where we shine as a team. And about that question: Will Design Thinking make you better at Tetris? Spoiler: maybe. But good luck beating Stefan, former Nintendo gamer and record breaker. What you can do is apply Design Thinking at every level of the company, including the C-suite. And stick around until the end for a quick Nerd Alert segment featuring none other than our founder, Johan Lyreborn, explaining what PGC means.

008 | Wedding Planning, An Exercise in Design Thinking (ft. Evelina Hagelin)

Have you been wondering what this 'Design Thinking' Thing is all about? We talk more explicitly about 'Design Thinking' with the great Evelina Hagelin on the matter. Specifically, how its helping Configura get back to it's roots, to empathize and understand our user community better. We also explore exactly how one pronounces 'Hagelin', macaroni & cheese and a new strategy for planning weddings.

Halloween Bonus Special

In this special Halloween episode, we’re pulling back the curtain to learn a little more about our hosts and their favorite Halloween memories—past and present. Along the way, we’ll sneak in a bit of design thinking as we chat about costume creativity, what makes a spooky movie truly work, and how Halloween inspires imagination. 🎃 Happy Halloween!

007 | Double Feature (Feature Requests Explained, ft. Joanna Joblanski)

What happens when passionate users and curious developers walk into a (virtual) room? Adam and Audrey find out with Joanna Jablonski, Design Manager at Henricksen, CET superstar, and all-around design whisperer. From art school in Poland to accidentally sitting in a space she designed years earlier, Joanna shares how creativity, collaboration, and a dash of serendipity shape her world. The trio trades thoughts on smarter workflows, UX “diseases,” and the eternal popcorn-versus-chips debate, all in pursuit of one simple goal: making designers’ lives easier.
