I'm bringing you along with me to Santa Fe for a quiet, layered look inside the home of designer Heather French—a place that feels deeply rooted in its landscape and gently expressive of the family who lives there. Walking through her territorial-style house, especially dressed for the holidays, felt like a reminder that good design isn't about spectacle, but about intention: rooms shaped by how they're truly used, materials that show age and wear with grace, and traditions that build warmth over time. From fruit-laden tables and needlepoint banquettes to a kitchen designed for lingering and a living room meant for both conversation and rest, Heather's home is a beautiful example of how style can be personal, soulful, and quietly enduring Want to finally define your style?

Designer, writer and hat connoisseur Matt Baxter of Baxter & Bailey joins us on The Creative Boom Podcast this week to talk about imperfection, community, and the creative life. Matt's been in the game for three decades – from Trickett & Webb and 300million to co-founding his Brighton studio with Dom Bailey in 2012. Since then, they've built thoughtful, human brands for Oxford University Press, The Body Shop, London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Mail and the BBC. But it's his side project, The Design Laundry, that really caught my eye. It's a gloriously honest archive of our industry's mishaps – typos, rogue emails, pitch disasters – and the lessons that come from them. We talk about growing up in Burnley, moving south, why pondering still matters, and how to keep a studio human when speed rules everything. We also get into Brighton's creative scene, building community, and why staying off Instagram helps with creative jealousy. It's warm, funny and refreshingly honest... with bonus seagulls.

Centrul Român OISTAT, filiala națională a Organizației Internaționale a Scenografilor, Tehnicienilor și Arhitecților de Teatru a reprezentat România la World Stage Design (WSD) 2025, participarea înseamnă recunoașterea valorii artiștilor români invitați, pas important către candidatura României pentru găzduirea ediției World Stage Design din 2029. Vorbim astăzi despre acestă realizare dar și despre proiectul Stage Box cu Adrian Damian - scenograf, coordonatorul proiectului Stage Box. Centrul Român OISTAT a lansat în luna noiembrie proiectul STAGE BOX. Elevii de la Colegiul Tehnic de Arhitectură și Lucrări Publice „I. N. Socolescu”, Liceul de Arte Plastice „Nicolae Tonitza” și Colegiul Național de Informatică „Tudor Vianu” au explorat lumea fascinantă a culiselor teatrului. Sub îndrumarea unor profesioniști din domeniul artelor spectacolului, aceștia au descoperit prin experiență directă, importanța și valoarea unor meserii precum cele de lighting, sound și video designer. La baza proiectului stă un concept inovator: STAGE BOX, un atelier mobil echipat cu o machetă de scenă funcțională. Aceasta reproduce un spațiu teatral complet, cu sisteme de lumini, sunet, video și elemente de scenografie fiind un laborator în miniatură unde elevii pot învăța, experimenta și crea. Centrul Român OISTAT a reprezentat România la World Stage Design (WSD) 2025, cel mai mare eveniment dedicat designerilor profesioniști și emergenți ce activează în domeniul scenografiei de spectacol, care anul acesta s-a desfășurat în Sharjah, Emiratele Arabe Unite. Această participare înseamnă recunoașterea valorii artiștilor români invitați și, mai ales, un pas important către candidatura României pentru găzduirea ediției World Stage Design din 2029. Acest obiectiv ambițios este cu atât mai aproape de realizare, cu cât propunerea României a fost foarte apreciată în cadrul prezentărilor potențialilor organizatori ai WSD 2029. Mai mult decât atât, anul acesta România a fost reprezentată la Sharjah în toate cele trei secțiuni importante ale WSD: •⁠ în secțiunea de expoziții, ⁠cele trei lucrări ale României au fost: „Transcendent Renaissance” (Călin Țopa), în cadrul Professional Sound Exhibition, și „SynergyX” & „Network of Emotions” (Adrian Damian), în cadrul Professional Space & Objet Design Exhibition. •⁠ în secțiunea de conferințe, Iuliana Gherghescu a susținut flash talk-ul „Scenography in Transition: Evaluating the Relevance of Designers in the Era of Artificial Intelligence”, iar Călin Țopa a prezentat albumul „Seven Minutes After Midnight” în cadrul Sound Kitchen (conferințe destinate designerilor de sunet profesioniști). • în Scenofest (secțiunea care găzduiește spectacole), a avut loc performance-ul „Transcendent Renaissance”, prezentat în Situl Arheologic Mleiha, creat de Călin Țopa (creator concept și compozitor), alături de Brad Ward (sound designer), Cristian Șimon (lighting designer), Adrian Damian (scenograf), Mădălina Ciotea (actriță și coordonator performeri), documentat de Tudor Cucu (foto / video), Vladimir Amzăr (videograf) și interpretat de patru performeri, tineri artiști internaționali. De asemenea, Nic Ularu, vicepreședinte OISTAT România, a fost distins cu premiul Honorary Member, unul dintre cele mai importante distincții oferite de OISTAT Internațional, iar Călin Țopa a câștigat premiul II pentru Sound Design. La începutul anului 2026 va fi făcut și anunțul țării gazdă pentru World Stage Design 2029. Centrul Român OISTAT, felicitat pentru candidatura depusă în cadrul WSD 2025, are o șansă foarte mare să aducă WSD la București în 2029, anul următoarei ediții a celui mai mare eveniment dedicat artiștilor profesioniști și emergenți ce activează în domeniul designului de spațiu, decor, costume, lumini, sunet și video în artele performative.

Was passiert, wenn Designer:innen beginnen, sich als eine gemeinsame arbeitende Klasse zu verstehen? In diesem Gespräch sprechen Jeanette und Quang der Designgewerkschaft über den Versuch, kollektive Strukturen in einem fragmentierten, oft prekären Berufsfeld aufzubauen. Zwischen Selbstorganisation, Solidarität und strukturellem Wandel wächst eine Bewegung, die Design nicht länger als individuelle Leidenschaft, sondern als politische Praxis begreift. Die Beteiligten diskutieren über Klassismus an Hochschulen, über den Mythos der „Creative Class“ und über die Frage, wie Gestaltung jenseits neoliberaler Wettbewerbslogiken möglich wird.

Over a long and celebrated career, Toronto based costume designer Linda Muir has collaborated on plays, feature films, short films, television MOWs and series projects, embracing contemporary, period and fantastical scripts.From 1975 to 1991, Linda designed costumes and sets for the theatre, including The Theatre Second Floor under the direction of Paul Bettis, Tarragon, Theatre Passe Muraille, TWP, Toronto Free, Richard Rose's Necessary Angel, the Royal Alexandra, Manitoba Theatre Centre and Manhattan's Mabou Mines. She received Dora Mavor Moore Awards for Outstanding Costume Design for Daniel MacIver's Jump and John Krizanc's innovative first production of Tamara.Muir transitioned to film and television, where she has successfully utilized her skill with fabric, colour and texture, an eye for detail and a real talent for capturing character in clothing.Linda's hallmark is extensive research and voracious reading: solid footings for her imaginative designs for productions that have received numerous nominations and awards, including Robert Eggers' The Witch, and The Lighthouse, Atom Egoyan's Exotica, Patricia Rozema's When Night Is Falling, Lilies by John Greyson and Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould by François Girard.

In this episode of The Knife Junkie Podcast, Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco sits down with custom knife maker and designer Calvin Richardson. Calvin is the creative mind behind the Steadfast, a popular design produced by Work Tuff Gear. They talk about how this blade updates the classic combat utility knife for modern users and discuss the release of the new Steadfast Large model.Calvin explains his old-school approach to design, revealing that he doesn't use computers but draws everything by hand with pencil and paper. He shares his "radius rule" and focuses heavily on how a handle feels so that you will actually want to keep using the knife. He also describes the "meditative flow state" he gets into when grinding and shaping his custom pieces.Later in the show, the conversation turns to the specific steels Calvin prefers for his handmade custom knives, like Nitro-V and CPM-154. He explains why he prefers making fighting knives over kitchen knives and gives a preview of upcoming projects inspired by military history, including his take on the MacV SOG Bowie and the Mark 3 Fighting Knife.Guest Links:Instagram: @calvinrichardson.1981Facebook: Calvin Richardson CustomShow Links & Sponsors:Support the Show on Patreon: theknifejunkie.com/patreonBattlBox: theknifejunkie.com/battlboxLaunch Cart: theknifejunkie.com/launchWatch on YouTube: theknifejunkie.com/youtubeWebsite: theknifejunkie.comBe sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a patron, including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content.

This is the time of year when parents are trying to figure out what to buy their children for Christmas. That is, of course, a noble endeavor. In the midst of wanting to provide valuable worldly possessions for your family, please remember the most important gift has already been purchased, and yet you can still give it.No shortage of “stuff” exists in our culture. Video games. Designer clothes. Big-screen televisions. You name it. For those who have the money to readily spend or have the money to save so they can spend during this time of year exists a plethora of opportunities to bring smiles of delight. Those who don't have a ton of money for the latest gadget or expensive items find plenty of reasonably priced gifts that bring happiness to their children.But there's a gift that means more than anything money can buy your child, and it's one we don't always value as we should not just on Christmas, but every day of every year.Parents, the greatest gift you can ever give your child is a relationship with Jesus. Life without Christ is not the life your children—or you—was intended to have. Give them Jesus. Do it by having your own relationship with Him. Do it by teaching them about Him yourself. Do it by taking them to a Bible-believing church who will further teach them. Do it by modeling what it looks like to trust your life with Him by being obedient to Him. Let them hear you talk about Him. Let them hear you talk to Him. Let them realize He wants to talk, too, to those who want to listen. Let them see that the greatest gift of all is the gift of life with Him on earth and eternal life with Him in Heaven. Let them see what it looks like to stand in faith when struggles come. Many young people have no idea how to handle stress or defeat or even questions that arise as they navigate life. What's in a person comes out in the most difficult of times and the best of times also, actually. Much of the mayhem we see around us results from people unprepared for what they will face simply because they exist. God has entrusted mankind as vessels through which children learn what matters, and what matters is to love Jesus and to know they are loved by Jesus, to honor Him. Nothing is more important and more long-lasting.The bottom line is if you've given them everything their hearts desire but haven't shaped their hearts to desire Jesus more than anything, what have you actually given them? Sure, if you can, give them the latest Jordan sneakers, the most powerful electronics, the Louis Vuitton bag (Oh, wait! That's my wish!

A MODERN MAGAZINE EDITOR IN A POST-MAGAZINE WORLD—In the media storm that is 2025, the person you want captaining your ship is smart, decisive, and cool, calm, and collected—in other words, she's Nikki Ogunnaike.The editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, whom we got to know when we worked together at Elle, is the very model of a modern magazine editor, in that—unlike the lifers of old—she hopscotched through a ton of jobs, accruing skills as a writer, a fashion editor, a digital editor and a print editor, and, oh yeah, a social-media savvy multi-platform operator—to become what she is now: someone uniquely equipped to lead a new era of Marie Claire.We talked to Nikki about what it's like to run a modern media brand in a post-magazine world—what does the job of “magazine editor” even mean now? Also: how is the post-Hearst Marie Claire evolving to meet a new reader, or should we say “follower,” and which parts of its original DNA Nikki is working to preserve. Also: Is the “girlboss” back?—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered diplomats to start using the Times New Roman font again, reversing a change made under the previous administration. Rubio's predecessor, Antony Blinken, made the switch to Calibri in 2023, saying it was more accessible for people with visual disabilities - a change Rubio labelled 'wasteful'. Monolith typeface designer Alistair McCready says Calibri's more suited to readers by design, but it depends on the individual. "There's all sorts of things that go into reading, not just the way you see or how clearly you can see - it's how you interpret letters and shapes."

We're doing Scrum. Why does everything take so long to finish?For many teams, delivery bogs down because of the way individuals approach the work itself.Most teams are still working in a sequence: one person finishes their part, hands it off, and then the next person begins. Designers wait for analysis to finish. Developers wait for designs. Testers wait for the code to be done. Everyone's optimizing for their own efficiency — but the team as a whole slows down.That might feel to individuals like the “right” way to work, but it comes with real costs: Mistakes go unnoticed until late in the process — and keep happening until then.Too much work is started toward the end of the sprint, creating bottlenecks and delays, which means features take longer to reach your users, and feedback takes longer to reach the team.Time to market, or time to value, is extended.Even when teams are doing “agile” on the surface, these large handoffs are the opposite of how an agile team works.To deliver value quickly, team members have to learn to stop waiting for someone else to finish before they start–in other words, they need to overlap work.When one type of task looks like it's dependent on another type of task, teams accustomed to overlapping work find ways to begin the second task before the first is completed. Coders start coding while the designer is still designing. Testers start creating tests even while the coder is coding.Why do teams cling to this outdated way of working?When teams first try working this way, many team members resist it. They're used to holding on to their work until it's perfect and “ready.” They might find the idea of overlapping work to be too messy and inefficient.Consider, for example, a tester. To be as efficient as possible, this tester would like to begin testing only after coding is complete. To test any earlier risks repeating work by re-running, or even re-designing, tests.What these team members need to realize is that optimizing for the efficiency of any one role prolongs the amount of time it takes to complete each new feature. Overlapping work is key to working in an agile way.For example, imagine that a developer is building a search results page for an eCommerce site. The page allows users to filter results by product attributes such as size, color, and more. Results can also be sorted by price, popularity, rating, and so on. If a programmer develops all of that before handing it over to a tester then no work has overlapped.If, however, the programmer handed it to the tester in pieces then testing could overlap with programming. The programmer could, for example, provide the tester with a version of the page without filtering or sorting. While a tester checks that, the developer adds filtering by size. Then color. Then sorting. The work overlaps — and everything moves faster.Two simple ways to encourage this way of working:Ask teams to shrink task size. Breaking big tasks into bite-sized pieces makes it easier for roles to overlap and collaborate. As handoffs get smaller, collaboration gets easier.Try swarming. Swarming is an extreme form of overlapping work that helps teams learn to let go of a “my work, your work” mindset and sequential “finish-to-start” mentality. When a team swarms, the whole team focuses on just one (or maybe two) items at a time.I'm not suggesting swarming as a long-term solution or the optimal way to work. It's a temporary, artificial constraint on work in process designed to force teams to find new ways to collaborate and move faster together. The goal is to remove the limit later, and have team members continue to apply the lessons they learned when they were forced to over-collaborate.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Listen to My Message from Sunday, December 7 Designed for Destiny: Created for Good Works Romans 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. As a visual communications major in college and a designer for almost 50 years, ever since high school, I appreciate God's intention as the ultimate designer. You have also been responsible for design in one way or another, whether formally or by making decisions about how your home looks and functions. On your job, through your volunteer tasks, planning a vacation, or working with others, design is always a vital part of any fruitful task. Design is the engine of purpose, or what we also call destiny. While the concept of destiny is large, the actions of destiny are comprised of consistent small steps—something we also call process. From the foreknowledge of God, our text states that we were predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus. That's a big concept, but it was manifested in many smaller steps. From God anticipating the fall of Adam and Eve, stating, “He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel”—foretelling of Jesus' death as a bruised heel, resulting in defeating Satan and the power of death, “a bruised, or busted, head.” From that beginning in the garden, God protected and preserved the messianic seed all the way to the virgin Mary. Here's the important thing about design: the designer is always paying attention to his or her design. Because it is an investment of time and resources, there's no way a designer will neglect the design. I say that to remind you that because you are designed by God, He pays attention to you. In the words of the Hebrews writer (2:6),  “What are mere mortals that you should think about them, or a son of man that you should care for him? Yet for a little while you made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.” Because you and I were designed or made a little lower than the angels and crowned with glory and honor, your Designer never stops thinking about you and adjusting His work in your life and in our lives together. Let that thought live in your heart and mind today.

“I just want to design, but why is this so hard?” I get it! You love creating beautiful spaces, choosing finishes, and watching your vision come to life — but when it comes to running your design business, you suddenly feel lost. Pricing, contracts, permits, marketing, and systems aren't what you signed up for.

THE PURPOSE OF TRAVEL—The world is adrift in travel magazines that tell you to go here and stay there, to order certain foods at “of-the-moment” restaurants. And when you go to these places you find yourself surrounded by other travelers like you, and the only locals you interact with are, maybe, the waiter, or your Airbnb host, or the tour guide taking you on a generic definitely-not-what-the-locals-do tour of the trendiest neighborhood in town. Or you might not even meet a local. Or ever stop looking at the screen on your phone.You will have ticked items off your travel bucket list, but will you have actually traveled? Travel becomes consumption and as with all manner of consumption, you are never quite sated, and hey, there's a media ecosystem out there to help you along.And then there's Ori. Founded by journalist Kade Krichko, Ori bills itself as a “travel, art and education platform” that allows local storytellers to tell their stories on a global scale. It is a magazine that understands travel is an experience first and foremost, and that traveling well means an immersion into people and places, an opportunity to grow and to heal.It's a magazine that assumes you should think about and experience the world around you, and that if you think about it and experience it enough, the world becomes a more interconnected and better place; it becomes a place of wonder.And isn't that why we travel?—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.
