An engaging, design focused podcast, excellent for self-reflection
I discovered the Design Feeling podcast whilst studying UX, and I found it to be not only an excellent additional resource to my studies, but also a really powerful inspiration.
It’s definitely helped me understand the industry I’m moving into better, and also inspired me to embrace my own journey.
The thoughts and discussions between Nirish and his guests have given me the confidence to explore things and step a little further out of my comfort zone, and I look forward to more insights, motivation and perspectives from future episodes!
Ace design podcast
I've been hooked by the design feeling podcast that looks at what makes the design thinker 👩🎨 with some great guests and thought-provoking conversations.
I've thoroughly enjoyed listening, always finish feeling opened up to a new different perspective and like I've had a good catch up and chat with Nirish, thank you and please keep them coming!
I would recommend it not only for designers but anyone involved in the digital product world it's well worth a listen!
Feeling it
Just listened to the episode with Zorana on emotions and creativity. Really got me thinking about feeling and it’s place in how we generate ideas, edit them and progress them – particularly the different feelings you will experience at these different stages. That the goal isn’t just to keep people super-energised and happy all the time. That if you allow people to feel what’s appropriate at different stages you’ll get better results and people will be able to bring more of themselves to the process. Anyway…really interesting stuff and a very deep topic. Nirish is a great host and this is a great conversation!
