  • How To Design Your Life
    Mar 31 2026

    This week we are joined by Debbie Millman, a graphic designer, podcaster, and the chair and co-founder of the Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts.

    The episode focuses on the theme of designing your life, and Debbie’s unique framework for doing so. We talk about how fear and regret get in the way, and that ultimately, how successful we are depends not only on the goals we set, but whether or not we act or succumb to our fears.

    After interviewing the world’s leading creatives for 21 years on her podcast, Design Matters, Debbie brings a deep understanding of how to lead a creatively fulfilling life.
