## Resource

Today, we dive into the fascinating intersection of design and quantum computing. Our guest, Klem Jankiewicz, Head of Design at Classiq—a leading quantum software company—joins Candace Gillhoolley and Frank La Vigne to explore how creative minds like designers, marketers, and educators are becoming essential players in the quantum ecosystem. You'll hear Klem Jankiewicz share her journey from industrial design to quantum labs, discuss the importance of intuitive user interfaces, and reveal how visual tools are opening up quantum technology to more people than ever before. She explains why designing for quantum is unlike anything else—there’s no roadmap, and every project is a chance to invent new ways of making this complex technology accessible. We’ll touch on the evolution of industry culture, hear about groundbreaking projects like Quantum Flytrap, and get tips for anyone thinking about entering the quantum-tech space. Whether you’re a physicist, a developer, or simply quantum-curious, this episode shows why the future of quantum is brighter—and more welcoming—than ever. Stay tuned as we connect the dots between science, creativity, and the next generation of tech innovation!
