    Sexy Chicken (with Katie McHugh)

    Why not make a new Did I Do That? All the listeners could say is no! Katie McHugh (Group Design Director at Wieden+Kennedy) sits down with Sean to talk about her design mistakes… as well as pledge drive phone banks, magical janitors, and Spartacus’ bulk aisle. You can find Katie’s work, including glimpses of her Dante’s Inferno, Coraline, Velveeta, and KFC projects mentioned in this episode, at mcwhatever.com. Additional thanks to the great Macy Eiesland for just being rad. This episode was recorded 1 February 2026 in the Rat’s Nest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Art Department Trainee (with Sam O’Leary — Season 8 Premiere)

    Did I Do That? is back again, even though every time someone says that, it presages a disaster. Globetrotting art director, father, and genuine jack-of-all-trades Sam O’Leary sits down with Sean for our season 8 premiere to talk about his creative missteps… as well as the “good” stuff “kids” go for, woofing, and North America: where everybody knows your name. You can find Sam’s work and more at his website, conduction.co.nz! You can also find him on Instagram at @samolearypresents; there, you can check out the “Artisan Designer for Hire” box he made for OMFGCO that we talk about in the episode, as well as lots of his other work! Special thanks to the great Sarah Hollowood for connecting Sam and I for this episode—you rock! This episode was recorded 10 January 2026 in the Rat’s Nest. Hosted on Acast.

    Did I Do That? Season 8: Class is back in session February 19

    Did I Do That? is back, because failure is the best design teacher. Starting next Thursday, we’re cramming for a lecture hall-sized eighth season that’ll drop new episodes through ‘til August, summer school be damned. This season’s curriculum will be jam-packed with guests hailing from all over the map (specifically, that big one on the pull-down screen above the chalkboard). We’ll have new mediums to explore, new territories to cover, and plenty of new mistakes to laugh about. Want an A… or at least the C- you need to get by? All you have to do is show up. Join us February 19, and every other Thursday after that, at dididothat.design or wherever you get podcasts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Basement of Hell (with Eason Yang) — Rerun

    Season 8 is on our doorstep, with the next thing you hear here being the season 8 trailer! In the mean time, though, we've got another awesome all-timer from the archives to share—the great Eason Yang (founder and design director of NED: Not Entirely Dead, and more recently of AIGA New York's board) made the trek down from Seattle on St. Patrick’s Day 2023 to talk with Sean about looking for Lebron (in all the wrong places), working for dinosaurs, and resume hacking. You can find Eason on his website, eason.design, or on LinkedIn. Whether you’re a cancer survivor, have a resume gap, or just want to learn more, you can find out about NED and join the community at notentirelydead.org or on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/company/we-are-ned. If you have a gap in your resume, use NED as your employer on LinkedIn to give you context for it, and tell a friend if they’re in the same boat too! NED won 365: AIGA’s Year in Design Award in the category of Social Design in 2021, and was named one of Fast Company’s 2023 World Changing Idea honorees! This episode was recorded on Friday, March 17, 2023. One more special thanks to Eason for driving down to Portland to record this, of all things! ⭐️ HELP SHAPE THIS SHOW’S FUTURE! ⭐️ ‍Please take the Did I Do That?

    Swear All The Swears (with Kristin Rogers Brown) — Rerun

    Season 8 is drawing closer, but in the meantime, we're sharing yet another past favorite, this time from the amazing Kristin Rogers Brown, now full Professor, Chair of Graphic Design, and Director of the Center for Design at Pacific Northwest College of Art). Way back in September 2023 as part of season 3, Kristin joined Sean to talk nightmarish mascots, the corporate handshake aesthetic, and pencils that say stuff. You can find Kristin’s work—including some of the work at Bitch Magazine and Bear Deluxe— online at krbee.com, or on Instagram @krbee! You can find even more of Kristin's academic work through the PNCA website! — ⭐️ HELP SHAPE THIS SHOW’S FUTURE! ⭐️ Please take the Did I Do That? Listener Survey at tiny.cc/thatsurvey!

    I Wanna See A Weird Hat (with Mallary Wilson) — Rerun

    It’s a new year, and to celebrate while I dive deep into prep mode for season 8, I’ve picked out one of my past favorites to share again—freelance designer, grad student, and fellow Portland Institute for Contemporary Art design alum Mallary Wilson joined me way back in June of 2023 to talk inadvertently inappropriate imagery, erasers shaped like food items, and hoarding AOL hours. It’s an episode that’s unforgivably uncool, but we can dig it! You can find Mallary on the web at mallarydesigns.com or @mallarydesigns on Instagram—if you work at an agency and are looking for somebody killer to bring onto your team, reach out! If you’re wondering what the heck we’re talking about with regards to PICA and TBA and all, that, check out PICA.org—those around Portland may know them for their annual Time-Based Art (TBA) Festival, which will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. It is a weird, good time, and brings parts of the artistic globe to Portland you might never see otherwise. — ⭐️ HELP SHAPE THIS SHOW’S FUTURE! ⭐️ Please take the Did I Do That?

  7. Bottom of the Barrel, Live at Seattle Design Festival 2025

    Bottom of the Barrel, Live at Seattle Design Festival 2025

    What’s the worst project you’ve ever made—the one you almost cringe to think about sharing with the world? It’s a feeling every designer can identity. But what if you had a chance to fish it out of the proverbial trash can and pit it toe-to-toe against some of your peers’ worst-ever work live on stage, with the hope of having it named “Worst in Show?” Did I Do That? Scrapes the Bottom of the Barrel did just that this past summer at Seattle Design Festival with special guests Isabella Medina and Maxwell Miller—and now you can hear it to celebrate our fourth anniversary and the end of season seven! Both Isa and Max are former students of mine now based in the greater Seattle area. You can follow Isa on Instagram as @is.medina, or as part of the community event series ¡snack time!, which also hosted an event during this year’s Seattle Design Festival! You can follow Max on Instagram as @stoned_cold_316, or near you at your local LINE ski and snowboard reseller! Bottom of the Barrel was presented live on stage at Seattle Design Festival in Lake Union Park on Saturday, August 16, 2025. Huge thanks to our competitors, Isabella and Max, for their generosity and good humor in being so game to be part of such a bizarre idea—you absolutely rocked it! Additional thanks to Seattle Design Festival for hosting us once again, and special thanks again to Adrian Pacheco and all our incredible SDF volunteers for helping to make this show happen! — An audio note: This recording unfortunately has a few noticeable audio issues; while I’ve done my best to improve things, these issues were also present on stage which is most evident during my opening monologue. Luckily, this improves as the show goes on, but apologies for the more-than-occasional lost syllable here and there. What work are they competing over? You can follow along using the slide deck with all the work our competitors brought here (PDF). Rather watch than listen? Check out the full video of the event, along with images of the work being discussed, on the Seattle Design Festival YouTube channel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Make Less Sense (with Mariah Barnaby-Norris)

    Canadian/Australian illustrator and designer Mariah Barnaby-Norris joins Sean to talk about her design mistakes… as well as school photo backdrops, choosing graphic design over a promising career as a rural road work flagger, and THE DID I DO THAT? 2026 TREND REPORT (based entirely on the out-of-date trade and specialty magazines available in downtown Los Angeles’ Central Library). You can keep up with Mariah’s work on Instagram at @mariah_bn, or see her portfolio over at her website, mariahbn.com. As I mentioned in the show, prints of Mariah’s piece from the recent A Sometimes Gallery exhibition “DOG” are available at asometimesgallery.com. Hosted on Acast.
