In Episode 8 of Think Big, I speak to Saneia Norton, landscape architect and host of Dig Beneath Design - a podcast where her along with her guests, share stories and insights about design communication. Saneia Norton believes that clear communication gives designers 

⚡REAL POWER ⚡

As a landscape architect, she has often seen great projects fall over before they reach completion because ideas weren't explained clearly or the audience didn't understand the idea.

Saneia helps professionals to prepare for critical project meetings, presentations and reports that really have to hit the mark. Through her work, she hopes to empower designers with language skills to match their fluency in graphics. I thought this interview would be the perfect follow up to my chat with Steven Rubio. 

In today's interview, I wanted to know a little more about her work and the importance of tieing visual representation to verbal communication. I wanted to dive deeper into understanding this more and how my clients who are non-native English speakers could think about how they might use some of the ideas to their advantage.
