DesignedUp - A Designer's Guide...

Emma Carter

DesignedUp is a practical, inspiring guide for modern designers working at the intersection of technology, consultancy, and agency life. It’s written for practitioners who choose to plot their own path across complex organisations, balancing competing priorities while striving to make meaningful impact. 
 
Praised by John Maeda, VP of Design and Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft, as a refreshing antidote to career stagnation, and by Jeff Gotthelf, author of Lean UX and Sense & Respond, as a roadmap to redesigning how organisations work, DesignedUp tackles a challenge many designers know well: being undervalued, misunderstood or sidelined in tech-led environments. 
 
When design is treated as a “nice extra” rather than a strategic driver, influence is lost. DesignedUp shows you how to change that. 
 
Drawing on frameworks, methods, and real-world stories from global technology and design leaders, including Rebecca Parsons at Thoughtworks, Andreas Markdalen at frog, Lauren Pleydell-Pearce at PwC UK, and Andy Polaine, formerly of Fjord, this book shows you how to: 
 
Harness your strengths 
Speak the language of business and technology 
Influence engineers, stakeholders, and executives 
Make compelling design arguments that resonate 
Turn leaders into design champions 
 
DesignedUp helps you move from the margins to the centre, so design doesn’t just get a seat at the table, it reshapes it!

From the rise of Big Pharma’s influence to the suppression of alternative medicine, this book reveals how corporate greed, flawed policies, and a pharmaceutical-driven agenda have transformed healthcare into a business that thrives on illness rather than healing.
🔹 Why are prescription drugs the go-to solution, even when they cause harm?
🔹 Why is the U.S. healthcare system the most expensive in the world—yet ranks among the worst in health outcomes?
🔹 How did we move from natural, holistic healing to a profit-driven sickcare model?A Deep Dive Into the Past, Present & Future of Medicine
Dr. Mehmedi takes readers on a compelling journey through history, unveiling how theFlexner Report, medical monopolization, and pharmaceutical lobbying shaped the modern healthcare system. He explores today’s crises, from skyrocketing medical costs to the overprescription of drugs—and reveals how we can reclaim our health.A Roadmap for a Better Future
This book isn’t just an exposé—it’s a call to action. With insights into holistic medicine, decentralized healthcare, regenerative practices, and emerging innovations, Profits Over People offers a vision for a new paradigm of healing—one where people, not profits, come first.
