Distilling Design Podcast

Distilling Design Podcast is a podcast that discusses the meaning of design, the design process, and its intrinsic value. How each project, if designed well, will ultimately be more successful. Distilling Design Podcast aims to expand people's ideas about design, beyond aesthetics. To look at all spaces, structures and products as being designed. Not only appreciating them, but to encourage people to ask for a design process in whatever it is they are doing. The design process should be an integral part of everything that is created and built.
