Design Over Drinks – Details, episodes & analysis

Design Over Drinks is an interview style podcast aiming to be a forum for emerging designers to talk about our philosophies, trends, experiences, successes, failures, diversity, advocacy, predictions, and everything in between. Why over drinks? Because designers often have a beverage in hand. Whether its a hot coffee or chai to start the day, or a glass of wine with coworkers to end it. A kombucha, or bubble tea, even that trusty bottle of water as we go from meeting to emails, to 30 minutes of actual work. We always have a hand for a drink. I started this podcast when Covid-19 hit in 2020. I spent a lot of time listening to the giants of design talk about what they predicted the future to be like, and how our profession will adapt as our world changes. Although that is important, I felt disconnected from the designer who is doing the production work, the designer who had to adapt because their schooling was like no others. I wanted to talk to the designer who will be the potential "giant" of the future. I like being a designer, but I love to talk about it more. My younger self hoped to someday be an art curator and a philosopher. In a way this is how I still hope to do just that.
