User Journey w/ Sevy, presented by the Society of Typographic Arts, is a podcast about how the journeys of designers influence the work they make today. Join host Sevy Perez as he interviews the creative people who shape the world around us. Season 01 highlights designers who are typographers, entrepreneurs, instructors, and writers. They make things like books, exhibitions, and television shows. They work in multiple languages across mediums and sectors, but they are united by one shared trait: they create experiences.

E02: Alex Belardo Kostiw
Alex Belardo Kostiw gives shape to stories. She is a Visiting Artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a 2023-2024 Hatch Artist-in-Residence, a Teaching Artist at Spudnik Press, and she makes at her self-publishing practice Tenderly.
Alex joins Sevy to talk all things bookmaking and then some, including how her creative development began as a child growing up in a crowded Bronx, her discovery of the intentionally ambiguous "poetry comic" in college, and what good home cooking can teach us about visual art — even though most of that stuff had to be cut due to a hilarious misunderstanding.

Ellen Lupton is a designer, writer, and educator. She serves as the Betty Cooke and William O. Steinmetz Design Chair of the Graphic Design MFA program at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and is Curator Emerita at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City.
Ellen joins Sevy to celebrate the third edition of her classic guide to typography: Thinking with Type (Princeton Architectural Press, 2024). They discuss the 21st century evolution of communication design, why it’s important to study writing systems you may never even use, and how Ellen’s unusual upbringing set her on the multidisciplinary path she still walks today.
