This idea is a simple on really. Gather some very talented designers, place them around a table, drop the topic, hit the little red button and see what happens. This is the idea I came up with in 2017 after years of attending industry events and leaving with a sense of disappointment that the formal conversations didn’t yield the same amazing dialogue that the informal ones did. When creatives come off the stage, the audience leaves and they are just chatting amongst themselves, it was pure gold. I wanted to capture that. We hold these events regularly at Design Hardware. We record them and publish them to Doctoring Up Design, the official podcast of Design Hardware. We gathered on February 29th, in partnership with ASID-LA, we gathered some amazing creatives to discuss the rapidly changing nature of the design industry and how the rapid changes and evolving tastes are changing the game. You are going to hear an open and honest conversation, the likes of which you rarely hear. Which is exactly why we do this.
