Topics
Debbie Millman: 我最初开始做播客是因为我感到在商业领域迷失了创意之心。虽然我在商业上取得了成功，但我渴望重新找回写作和绘画的乐趣。播客对我来说是一个巧妙的方式，既能保持商业联系，又能进行创意表达。我非常感激我的朋友们愿意参与我的节目，他们的慷慨和分享使这个节目得以发展。我个人对人们如何成为他们自己以及他们如何创造事物有着永不厌倦的好奇心。 Chris Duffy: 我从你那里学到的是，一切皆为设计。不仅有视觉设计和品牌设计，还有互动的设计。你所描述的很多内容都是关于如何设计一个更好的访谈或对话。我们经常忽略设计在这些方面的应用，但实际上它非常重要。

Shownotes Transcript

“If you’re a good designer in five or ten years, you’re gonna want to look back on your portfolio with horror and nostalgia and somewhat amusement… because you want to be growing,” says illustrator Debbie Millman. Debbie is the host of the longest running podcast, Design Matters, and the author of the book, Love Letter to a Garden. In this episode, authenticity and growth are at the forefront. Debbie talks about the loss of humanity with the rise of personal branding, how her fascination with origin stories and the universe led her to gardening, and her advocacy with the Joyful Heart Foundation, an organization working to help sexual assault victims heal and reclaim their lives.
