In this episode, I talk with Andy Chung, the designer of two platforms that represent a new direction for social media — one that values authenticity and meaningful connections. We talk about why he and his small team are building a new space for people to connect and why they are not interested in moving fast and breaking things.Links:https://read.cv/https://libramix.org/https://chia.design/Music by Scott Campbell ©

In this episode, I talk with Mitch Goldstein about his new book How to be a Design Student (and how to teach them). We discuss what it was like to not only design a book, but also write one. We talk about whether a formal design education or learning online is better. We also dive into familiar education topics like grading and critiques while also discussing topics like active curiosity, agency, pulling, and what it means to be a tourist, traveler, and citizen.

Jarrett Fuller is a designer, writer, educator, editor and podcaster. He is an assistant professor of graphic design at North Carolina State University; contributing editor at AIGA Eye On Design; director of twenty-six, a multidisciplinary design and editorial studio; and hosts the design podcast Scratching the Surface. He previously worked as a designer at Facebook, Warby Parker, and The Whitney Museum of American Art. He received his BFA in graphic design from Kutztown University and his MFA in graphic design and critical studies from Maryland Institute College of Art.In this episode, we discuss what graphic design is today — if it even exists anymore. Jarrett talks about how being a designer shapes everything he does and that the connection between writing and design is not as far as we may think. He shares how his students make him optimistic about the future of the design industry. And why he intentionally makes things more difficult for himself.Scratching the SurfaceJarrett Fuller's websiteMusic by Scott Campbell ©

Nicole Duet is Associate Professor of Drawing and Painting and Chair of Studio Art at Louisiana Tech University School of Design. She is an observation-based painter and illustrator working in a variety of media including oil painting, watercolor, and silverpoint. Her studio practice is grounded in her curiosity over the reliability of perception, and in her long-held belief that the greatest potential for discovery emerges through “noticing what we notice.” We discuss how light, color, and time affect her work, how to see, the rewards and challenges of teaching, and painting as a dying medium.Music by Scott Campbell ©
