Katie Spotz is an incredibly impressive ultra-endurance athlete who has undertaken enormous adventures across the globe to help raise funds for clean water and sanitation for underserved communities. Just a few highlights: at 22, she rowed solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 70 days, becoming the youngest person ever to do so. In 2020, she ran 138-miles nonstop in 33-hours across the state of Maine. She was also the first person to swim the length of the Allegheny river at 325 miles, she's cycled across the country, and completed 5 ironman triathlons and countless marathons. Her next adventure will take her cycling across the coastline of Maine, 308 miles from the Canadian border to New Hampshire. Katie's drive to test her limits, dream big, and break records is remarkable, all the more so because of the motivation behind it. Worldwide, an estimated 2.2 billion people lack access to a safe, clean water source, and roughly 4.2 billion people live without adequate sanitation services, according to the World Health Organization. By taking on these challenges, Katie helps raise funds for organizations such as Run4Water and Lifewater International who work to transform lives by providing clean water, and at the same time, she reminds us all that we're all capable of making a difference in the world. You can connect with Katie via Instagram @katiespotz, Facebook @hellokatiespotz and her website.

Katie Spotz is always looking for an epic adventure, especially if she can do good at the same time.

Larrie King has a really interesting vantage point in the design community. As an assistant professor of design at Kent State University, he teaches the next generation of designers to take on the challenges of our ever-changing world. And as creative director of Glyphix Studio, he oversees projects and keeps clients happy. It's the best of both worlds! We spent a good bit of our conversation talking about design education and how he manages both of his roles at KSU. We also spoke on diversity in the design industry, his design influences, and his current work with Lifewater International. Larrie's message of inclusion is really important for designers everywhere, and I'm glad to speak to someone that's really doing the work and paving the way for the future!

The global water crisis is one of the most complex and demoralizing challenges present in our world. Thousands die each day from disease, infections, and dehydration, all easily preventable with adequate safe water and sanitation resources. Justin Narducci and his team at Lifewater International are not content with this reality. On this episode of Design Of, we'll get to hear how one organization is rolling up its sleeves to not only help people get clean water, but transform lives forever.

Dr. Kinoti Meme, Ph.D. (San Luis Obispo, CA), Director of Education and Training for Lifewater International, a nonprofit Christian humanitarian organization specializing in water and sanitation development in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, discusses how water is the foundation for life, growth and human development, yet 1.1 billion people lack access to safe water, and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. For additional information, please visit www.lifewater.org. Second guest, Art Bernstein (Gold Hill, OR), naturalist and author, discusses ouzels, owls, eagles and kingfishers. The ouzel is North America's only aquatic songbird with short wings and tail, a fairly short and straight beak and slate grey in color. Owls are mainly nocturnal birds of prey, with large, round heads and huge, forward-facing eyes. Unlike the chunky, small spike-headed kingfishers, eagles are differentiated from other birds mainly by their larger size, more powerful build and heavier head and bill.
