Summary

Today I’m sitting down with one of my favorite humans, but in a twist of fate, the tables are turned. I’m in the hot seat - being interviewed by my dear friend and design-industry legend, Debbie Millman.

Debbie Millman is chair of the Masters in Branding Program at the School of Visual Arts in NYC…and she has an insane track record going back decades: she’s the author of 6 books including “How To Think Like A Great Graphic Designer,” and a prolific design writer in outlets like NYT, Fast Company, and Design Observer. She also hosts the longest-running design podcast called Design Matters with over 300 interviews over the last 10 years.

In this conversation Debbie really digs into my personal past - and asks me questions I’ve never had in any public interview. Her detailed research and talent for pulling tidbits out of my past covered ground about my deep-seated beliefs on the future of photography, creativity, my love for crows, and my biggest professional failures to date.

Hope you enjoy it. Please give Debbie a shoutout on social she’s just @debbiemillman … and be sure to check out Design Matters podcast.

Enjoy!

This is where I sit down with awesome humans and I do everything I can to unpack their brains. But I got a little twist today. I am sitting
0:22.4	down with an amazing human for sure. Her name is Debbie Millman. But in a twist of fate in this
0:29.2	episode of the show, Debbie Millman, legendary designer, branding expert, all things design. She is
0:37.2	a luminary in the space and the host of one of the longest running podcasts ever called Design Matters.
0:44.2	It dominates the design space in the podcast world.
0:48.2	I'm sitting down with her, and she's also a dear friend.
0:51.7	I have to confess.
0:53.2	And she's interviewing me, yours truly.
0:56.7	And this happened in front of a live audience, a live audience of about, gosh, I think more than
1:01.3	a thousand people at the How Design Live conference in Boston, Massachusetts. So the tables
1:09.0	are turned. You know, this is usually me sitting down with someone
1:11.7	who inspires me. In this case, that's the case, but she's the one who's firing off the questions.
1:17.9	Without giving too much of it away, I want to let you know that she goes places that no one
1:21.9	has ever gone with me in an interview. She researched things. I swear she called my mom. I don't know if she actually did,
1:29.4	but she found some stuff out that is not widely known
1:33.1	about me out there on the internet,
1:34.3	including my love for crows.
1:37.6	We talk about my personal creative experience,
1:40.6	starting out, running away from creativity
1:43.4	as a young age, and then obviously I found it, grabbed
1:46.9	onto it and haven't like go since. But it's just a different episode of the show today. And
