AIGA Design Leaders Talk The Future of Designers with Brandi – Episode 114 - a podcast by Brandi Sea

On today’s episode, we’re sharing three really amazing interviews from the AIGA National Leadership Retreat that Brandi attended last month in Atlanta! Ashleigh Axios, Forest Young, and Sarah Brooks talk the future of design and our role as designers.



Michelle’s week:

Michelle has been up to a lot or organization. Every Saturday for the last month or so she has been going to the Grower’s Market that we have In the Albuquerque area. She uses the time to also get groceries and also have some fun with her family. And instead of watching tv at night, Michelle has been crawling into bed are rereading Harry Potter. And besides, that Michelle has been crazy busy at work like always. They are in the process of remodeling their office to she had to move to a different office space. She also impulsively bought a tattoo stick and poke kit! She has already given her husband a tattoo. Stay tuned because the design speaks team may all get matching tattoos. And lastly, Michelle has started doing Body Pump and she is loving it even though she can’t walk up Brandi’s stairs. 

Brandi’s week:

Brandi finally finished Stranger Things and she is happy with season 3. She has also signed a couple of contracts for some design work which is exciting, and she is working on preparing for her vow renewal which is in a couple of weeks. And besides that, she got to go to this AIGA conference where she recorded the interviews you will hear in this episode. This was Brandi’s first year getting to attend as the president of the New Mexico chapter.  

Takeaways from this episode:



* It’s important to think about how things change over time.

* As a designer, you not only need specialization but also understanding of the whole.





* You’re really not as creative as you could be if you just use a mouse.

* Design is like a conversation using a plethora of visual tools.

* A community should have consistency.





* A designer can help shape the future. 





* There is a responsibility that comes along with design. 

* Designers have to do research to do good work.
