We have been tweaking the system for decades. So, what if it were about time we redesigned it? Not from scratch, but from what we know works.

The Education by Design podcast explores the architecture of learning environments—how schools are designed, not just operated—how culture is disrupted to make way for innovation and reaching potential.

Join Phil Evans as he presents innovators who untangle the complexity of educational systems to align with shared values, common practices, and a common language to create powerful, human-centered learning experiences.

Phil Evans

🎙️ Meet Phillip Evans — an educational architect, documentary storyteller, and curiosity catalyst. He’s the creative force behind Education by Design, where podcasts meet purpose and systems thinking sparks schoolwide change.

Equal parts strategist and storyteller, he brings educators, leaders, and learners together with one question in mind: What if school wasn’t just preparation for life… but a launchpad for lifelong learning?

Phil Evans is a creative with the International Baccalaureate (IB), a global non-profit organization. In his role at the IB he learns alongside schools to design and scale new services and resources, and to tell stories that inspire innovation and positive change. Education by Design describes systems that work to advance agency and a love for learning at the core of any school transformation strategy.

Whether he's workshopping IB expansion strategies across continents, crafting edgy podcast scripts that stay relevant, reflective and sharp but tactfully apolitical, or documenting inspiring practices on location at schools or conferences with multi-camera magic — Phil curates more than content; he curates conversations that matter.
