HOW Design Live 2024, Conference Recap 1 of 3 : Debbie Millman

HOW Design Live 2024, Conference Recap 1 of 3 : Debbie Millman

Debbie Millman joined me backstage just as the 2024 HOW Design Live was starting up. We talk about The Shop at Matter, her upcoming book, “Love Letter to a Garden“, breaking the elevator at the San Francisco Sterling Brands office within minutes of when we first met, podcasting for almost 20 years, and more.

Recorded on September 23, 2024 in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Moving HOW Design Live to a creative venue was one that was a a big hit – seeing the main stage speakers in an Opera House really added to the creativity and inspiration of the event – one I would love to see continued.

As usual, the speakers were great (Debbie helps with selection of a number of them, which we also discuss), being in Denver is always a week to remember, and I can’t wait to see what next year brings. Until then, I will be back this week with two more daily recaps, and will finish off Season 17 with eight podcasts recorded during the event.

Still can’t believe that Design Matters is going to be 20 in February, as it also reminds me of my own podcasting beginnings later that year…

Enjoy.

Liz Hunt: The Reflex Blue Show #261

Liz Hunt, CEO of DayCloud Studios, sits down with me in the DayCloud penthouse suite located in The Blackstone District of Omaha, Nebraska to talk about the advice she gives to those starting up their own creative business.

We also talk about how to lead a client through the creative process, how to get that first big client, and the importance of following through – which includes a tip from a hostage negotiator.

And or course, we talk about her own podcast, the Agency Rocket Show.

Enjoy.

Todd Coats & Elliot Strunk: The Reflex Blue Show #258

Todd Coats & Elliot Strunk, the hosts of Two Designers Walk Into a Bar (a podcast about iconic design and popular culture), well, walk into The Reflex Blue Show.

We talk about their influences in the design field, pop culture, listening to vinyl, and more.

It’s funny, I started podcasting back in 2005 because Nate, Tom and I would end up hanging out at a bar talking about graphic design and things we loved. So, hanging out in this virtual bar with Todd and Elliot took me back to where it felt like I started. Of course, we recorded this one well before the bars around here would even be open…

Enjoy.
