Our next guest is Tom Geismar, the acclaimed American graphic designer famous for creating some of the world's most recognisable and enduring brands. Tom is a founding member of Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv (formerly Brownjohn, Chermayeff & Geismar and Chermayeff & Geismar), the highly respected design firm in New York, which he began with friends Ivan Chermayeff and Robert Brownjohn in 1957. Together, they became renowned for their fresh and creative approach to companies such as Pan Am, Chase Bank, and PBS – which paved the way for the design industry we know today. During his incredible career, Tom has created outstanding designs across print, packaging and environmental. There are many highlights, including his impactful work for Xerox, which created a new standard for design in corporate communications. There was also his special relationship with Mobil over 35 years and his unique take on exhibitions, bringing together many creative disciplines to create stand-out designs for The Statue of Liberty Museum, Ellis Island Museum, and many more. It's no wonder he's considered a pioneer in the field. In this episode, we talk about those early days in New York City when a tremendous cultural shift was afoot, and the design industry was a completely different landscape back then. We hear of their first office: a tiny bedroom which featured a desk – an old door propped up on makeshift legs – of which Tom sat across from his then partner and mentor Brownjohn. There's some insight into some of his favourite projects, and we learn of some of his regrets. How his practice has changed over the decades, and why they have kept their design firm deliberately small. We hear what he thinks of new technology like DALL-E and how he feels about graphic design today. For someone described as a "sweetheart" by New York's design community, Tom is a brilliant mind that has won many awards and continues to enjoy being part of his practice today, even after 65 years in the business.
Sam Chermayeff is an architect based in Berlin."The success of all interiors are specifics – specific wobbles, specific things in the way, specific dirt behind the ears of a house […] It's wildly inefficient way of designing […] and it can drive people crazy, but the notion that you can provide this joyous instability for people – I want to offer that to everyone."

Everyone loves a comeback story, especially in sports. The US Open is the “big show” for tennis players and spectators alike, its brand is seemingly untouchable. In fact, its identity remained essentially unchanged since 1997. That is until the renowned Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv served up a new look in 2018. We sat down with partner and designer Sagi Haviv to get the play-by-play on a challenging but triumphant change of brand.To see the change of brand for yourself, visit achangeofbrand.com or follow us on Instagram @achangeofbrand.Produced by Matchstic (matchstic.com / @matchstichouse), hosted by Blake Howard, (@blakehoward), co-hosted by Tracy Clark, edited by Gabe Kitzman, fact-checked by Jill Jeffries, co-written by Pamela Henman, and artwork by Rachel Jackson.
Full Show Notes Here. Today we have a motivating conversation with Tati Chermayeff - the person behind the popular food blog and Instagram page with a growing following of over 20 thousand, Healthful Blondie - @healthfulblondie and healthfulblondie.com. Tati, from Connecticut, is also a senior at Harvard whose instagram-page-turned-business started with a simple photography class challenge of a photo a day... and that inspired her to start posting her meals online. Previously, however, being a driven student-athlete on the crew team, and a national champion in high school at that, gave her plenty of reasons to put any creative outlets she had to the side. But when persistent injuries ultimately ended her career, Tati was forced to reassess who she was, which helped her tap into her more creative side. Really, at its core, this episode is about listening to that little voice telling you to tap into your creativity and not listen to that voice telling you all the reasons why your project won't work or is not worth it. But on top of that, Tati gives a comprehensive behind the scenes look into just how much work goes into every post and gets very tactical for anybody wanting to start a blog or Instagram page of their own. With that said, the lessons she shares from her journey over the past year were very helpful for me, and can quite easily be generalized to anybody who wants to make something and put it out there for the world. Along the way, you'll learn more about Tati too - her views on diets and exercise practices, her daily routines that allow her to create content every day, and a lot more. Please enjoy this one with Tati Chermayeff.

Have you been to the Boston Aquarium and walked the spiral ramp along the central tank? Did you ride the T to get there and wonder why each line is colored the way it is?

He’s joined by his niece—filmmaker Maro Chermayeff, Class of 1980—and they discuss Peter’s early years at Andover, his circuitous career path, and how he became the preeminent aquarium architect in the world.
