Published: Jan. 18, 2021, 6:32 p.m.

b'In today\\u2019s episode of Design Life we talk about ageing and ageism in the tech industry. This is something we\\u2019ve started to think about more recently as we noticed there are a lot of people in the design industry in their 20\\u2019s and 30\\u2019s and a lot less in their 40\\u2019s. What happens to people as they age in this industry? As designers, we are ageing along with tech. Ten years from now will it be common place to have your entire design team made up of people in their 40\\u2019s, or is this a naive idea? We discuss finding role models, fuelling your ambition and what we can do about ageism in tech.'
