Design Better for Teams

The number one reason designers leave a job is they feel they’re not growing. Great educational resources are essential to retain and nurture talent.

That’s why we’ve created Design Better for Teams—to inspire your designers’ growth in craft, creativity, and the art of collaboration.

Design Better guests inspire, inform, and challenge our notions of creativity. From top right: Greg Hoffman (Former Nike CMO), Paula Scher (legendary graphic designer), Ed Catmull (Pixar co-founder), OK Go (world’s most creative band), Eileen Fisher (fashion founder), David Sedaris (humorist), John Cleese (comedian and writer), Tony Fadell (co-inventor of the iPhone and iPod), and Sian Procter (astronaut and scientist).

  • Weekly, ad-free episodes that inspire and inform, released every Tuesday (free subscribers receive 2 ad-supported episodes per month)
