About
The Show
“Yep, she’s that good.”
—Tim Ferriss
Design Matters is one of the first and longest running podcasts in the world. Launched on February 4th, 2005 from two telephone landlines, Design Matters has evolved from a niche, live internet radio program to a widely respected, multi-award-winning podcast. Hosted by designer, writer, educator, and artist Debbie Millman, the show centers on how the world’s most incredibly creative people—designers, writers, artists, musicians, educators, scientists, philosophers, athletes and performers—design the trajectory of their lives. Each deeply researched long-form interview features a guests origin story, the challenges they’ve encountered, the choices they’ve made and the remarkable art they create.
Design Matters has won a Cooper Hewitt National Design Award, been nominated for ten Webby Awards (winning two) and two Ambie Awards. The show has also won a Signal Award, three Communicator Awards and three awards from The Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts. Design Matters has been listed on over 100 “Best Podcasts” lists, including one of the best podcasts in the world by Business Insider and Vanity Fair.
