Robbie Robertson is the regional leader for Gensler’s Digital Experience Design (DXD) practice for the Asia Pacific and Middle East region. He has decades of experience across the world – and we really mean it when we say ‘across the world’!

In this episode, he talks about those experiences working in different cities, countries and continents, all with a focus on technology and data. There are reminiscences about the UK, from the Scottish Highlands to London’s Millennium Dome, as well as some compelling thoughts about the direction of design in the future.
