Design and Whine

We both listen to a lot of podcasts, buy courses we never take, and get bored with circular conversations about how to craft the perfect component, pick the right border radius, and construct accessible colour palettes. So we decided to make our own show where we will try as little as possible to talk about the pixel-pushing side of design. This is a podcast (not) about design, by two designers.

    #12 – Design process

    What is our design process? Do we even have one? What's the best "handoff" we've experienced? How do we both approach deadlines and time management? How do we handle tasks?

    #9 – What even is design

    A response to an industry existential crisis What does design mean to you/us? Are designers artists? The more senior you get the less you design Work is mundane, should we just accept that? And stop hoping it will solve all our (creative) problems? Are side projects actually the answer? How can you keep scratching the artistic itch in a work environment What we think is right isn’t necessarily what the business thinks is right Is this an ego problem? Is this FINE? More bullet points are available on request.

    #8 – Failing

    Tune in to learn how Au was once paid €600 to not design a logo, or how Luis paid £3000 for a business that failed before it even started. Or maybe how Au messed up her friend's travel blog, or when Luis accidentally emailed his CEO some particularly blunt feedback.

    #7 – Bad things can be good things

    It turns out that we've both lost jobs, been promoted to managers without wanting to, and had to make career switches with our backs against the wall. Join us in this episode where we talk about our past experiences of bad career stuff happening and how we navigated it. Bonus points to Au for using a quote from Frozen in here.

    #6 – Conferences

    What was your first conference? Did you enjoy it? Was it fun, scary? Did yo meet anyone that you're still in touch with? Conferences can be pretty overwhelming even for the more extroverted amongst us, but they are seemingly something we need to do in order to "climb the ladder". We're both unsure about how much weight is put on them, both for the privilege angle, but also because maybe we can just be happy with the work we do and enjoy that1
