Sadia Mir is a designer, strategist, and leader who has spent over two decades helping organisations across the globe — from Fortune 500 companies to early-stage start-ups — build technology that people value. Her career spans product strategy, UX/UI, and service design, with a particular talent for shaping ideas in their earliest, most uncertain stages and guiding them through to launch.
Today, she leads a team of human-centred designers at CSIRO's Data61 - the AI, robotics and quantum computing powerhouse at Australia's national science agency - where she works at the frontier of emerging technology. Her recent work includes reimagining scientific workflows with AI to help accelerate discovery to designing the next generation of production systems for aviation manufacturing. Underpinning all of her work is a single conviction: that the more capable our technology becomes, the more urgently it needs to be shaped by people who ask "should we?" before "can we?".
