Hello! Design Over Drinks is an interview style podcast aiming to be a forum for emerging designers to talk about our philosophies, trends, experiences, successes, failures, diversity, advocacy, predictions, and everything in between.Why over drinks? Because designers often have a beverage in hand. Whether its a hot coffee or chai to start the day, or a glass of wine with coworkers to end it. A kombucha, or bubble tea, even that trusty bottle of water as we go from meeting to emails, to 30 minutes of actual work. We always have a hand for a drink.I started this podcast because I am an emerging professional and when Covid-19 hit in 2020 I spent a lot of time listening to the giants of design talk about what they predicted the future to be like, and how our profession will adapt as our world changes. Although that is important, I felt disconnected from the designer who is doing the production work, the designer who had to adapt because they no longer have the job they started with in 2020. I wanted to talk to the designer who will be the potential "giant" of the future. I like being a designer, but I love to talk about it more. My younger self hoped to someday be an art curator and a philosopher. In a way this is how I still hope to do just that.

Gayle is a designer at HOK, and current IIDA NPC Board member, which is how we met. She is super passionate about sustainability, and we have some great conversation around that subject on this episode! We talk about her experience at Philly U/Thomas Jefferson U, working and volunteering for IIDA on the east coast, and that we both lived in the NYC/NJ area reminisce about the things we miss from there, and of course, her work here in Seattle.Timestamps:Welcome: 00:25First non- drink related question: 02:32Schooling: 10:12Internships & Work Experience: 37:01The Big Questions: 1:05:46The Fun Stuff: 1:37:14Shownotes:Show notes from this episode can be found on our website.Thanks for listening!Design Over Drinks is Hosted by Kendra Shea Produced and Edited by Kendra Shea and Simon Shea Season 3 Graphics and Cover Art by Tano Design Season 3 Music is by Qreepz Email: DesignOverDrinksPod@gmail.com Socials/ Patreon: @DesignOverDrinksPod BlueSky: @DesignOverDrinks
Emily and I were connected through pod guest, and friend Peter. This ended up being a really great conversation. We talk about what it is like to be freelance designers, her schooling at University of Oregon, her summer working for AmeriCorps and Habitat for Humanity, plus geek out about theatre for a bit.

Katie is such a generous and genuine person. She and I crossed paths a few times but really got to talking during my last NeoCon. Interior Design is her second career, and she went forward knowing how and where she wanted to work. Doing just that now, we talk about that journey, and much more.Also, I'm so loud again in this episode, ugh, sorry!Timestamps:Welcome: 00:26First non- drink related question: 01:19Schooling: 11:40Internships & Work Experience: 30:25The Big Questions: 45:54The Fun Stuff: 1:05:05Show Notes:Show notes from this episode can be found on our website.Thanks for listening!Design Over Drinks is Hosted, and Edited by Kendra Shea Produced by Kendra Shea and Simon Shea Season 3 Graphics and Cover Art by Tano Design Season 3 Music is by Qreepz Email: DesignOverDrinksPod@gmail.com Socials/ Patreon: @DesignOverDrinksPod BlueSky: @DesignOverDrinks

This episodes' designer, Kimiya Khezri, resides in Vancouver, BC. We will talk about her schooling and work life as an Interior Designer in Canada, her journey as a residential designer and what drives her designs.Note: My sound is not great this episode, I was still working through some mic issues when this was recorded. I sound tin-can-y, sometimes you will hear me typing (why is this keyboard so loud?!), and clicking my mouse (why is this loud too?!!), or moving in my creaky ass chair (why are chairs so loud!?!) in the background while I am speaking. I did my best to remove it, but my editing skills are still those of someone learning so bear with me!Timestamps:Welcome: 00:10First non- drink related question: 01:57Schooling: 08:12Internships & Work Experience: 23:41The Big Questions: 39:44The Fun Stuff: 1:09:12Show Notes:Show notes from this episode can be found on our website.Thanks for listening!Design Over Drinks is Hosted, and Edited by Kendra Shea Produced by Kendra Shea and Simon Shea Season 3 Graphics and Cover Art by Tano Design Season 3 Music is by Qreepz Email: DesignOverDrinksPod@gmail.com Socials/ Patreon: @DesignOverDrinksPod BlueSky: @DesignOverDrinks
