In this episode, Dan and Tracey speak with Georgi Lewis, about her work as a service designer at The Smith Family, a non-profit organisation that provides education and financial literacy programs to young people in Australia.

Here is a taste of what Tracey, Dan and Georgi cover in the conversation: 

  • Georgi shares how she worked on a financial literacy program for 15-17 year-olds and how they made it more engaging and relevant to young people's lives.
  • The financial literacy program was redesigned to focus on topics that young people care about, such as budgeting, saving for goals, and making smart purchasing decisions.
  • She discusses the challenges of teaching financial skills to young people and how co-design and community engagement helped to overcome them.
