Design Away Filip, Inês, Jorn

- Arte
The design podcast about leaving comfort zones. We chat with designers from all over the world about being away from the comforts of home. At the same time, the show is about designers trying to find ways to solve tricky problems.
The idea came during the conversations we had with our international colleagues and friends in the office or at many of the Amsterdam design meetups. Many of those conversations were eye-opening and gave us the feeling of - wow, this should be recorded and should be shared with the world. We try to capture that magical feeling on tape ;)
We hope you enjoy the show!
