“Loving the selection of creative leaders, the insights they bring from prolific careers and the curiosity of the podcast producers. A great resource for all designers, creatives and entrepreneurs to enjoy!”
—Paul, Design Better listener“Insightful and entertaining. The guest speakers are a who’s who of the most creative and impactful design thinkers around. I love the fact that the Design Better podcast weaves together all of the different threads of design inspiration and process, ethics, inclusiveness, and relevance to things that people don’t always think of as being design-related. It’s a great lens into how intentionality and experience shapes design, and how intentional design, in turn, shapes our experiences.”
—Brook, Design Better listener
