Must-listen for anyone interested in design

This is such a great show - I love how it delves deep into people’s journey into design and allows the time to explore what makes this industry so special. It’s a must for everyone interested in design, but should also be prescribed for those interested in business and social change.

Brilliant insights in designer’s career journeys

Love this series. Great for young designers and students to hear how these design legends started their careers, plus their useful tips to getting started in the design industry. Genuinely interesting though for anyone with an interest in design.
