EP82 with Estella Tse on Immersive Art

In this episode, we spoke with Estella Tse backstage at Adobe Symposium 2018 in Sydney. Estella is a Virtual Reality painter and designer with a background in Illustration hailing from Oakland California.

We spoke about how virtual reality affects your mind and infiltrates Estella’s dreams, how she became an Artist in Residence with Google's Tilt Brush, how swimming and yoga makes her a better VR artist and exploring how the great art masters may have used VR as a canvas.

In this special episode, we went to Perth with our friend Frankie Ratford and held a panel with local legendary designers Becky Chilcott, Mark Braddock and Kylie Timpani.

We spoke about work-life balance or lack thereof, burnout, how we deal with moving forward in our work, education, internships and industry and community issues.

This is a recording from a live event so the audio quality isn't perfect, but we believe the content from the panel was excellent and worth sharing.

Big thanks to our mate at Streamtime getting us to and from Perth to run this special event.

For this episode, we are at The Design Conference in Brisbane, where we sat down with power-duo Meg Donohoe and Mitch Paone to talk about their New York studio, DIA.

Meg and Mitch are incredibly organised and we look at how they manage their schedules so they have time for life/work and what it takes to run a successful consultancy and marriage at the same time.

We also look at their kinetic identity systems, how the concept originated and how their process has needed to change to incorporate a whole new way of working. We explore how they communicate the value of it to their clients and build in time to continually experiment.

Special thanks to Streamtime for helping us make this episode happen, Matt from TDCB for having us and Andy Wright for stepping in for Matt.

In this episode, we spoke with Jack Mussett, Director at Motherbird.

Jack has been on our infamous industry wish list since the beginning of the podcast so it was great to finally get a chance to speak with him in his hometown of Melbourne. We spoke about work-life balance, overdelivering on projects, working with friends, side projects, and diversity. We got philosophical with talk about critical thinking and the meandering brain.

We dove into a few projects including The World Cancer Congress the Melbourne International Jazz Festival as well as some of his personal projects including Word–Form.

This episode finds us still at the Brisbane Design Conference, finding some time to sit down with our friend, George Rose.

George is a multidisciplinary artist, well known for doing incredibly large walls, blending colours, gradients and textures through hand-rendered type forms. An incredibly honest and free spirit, we got into all things about having a career as a mural artist, how she makes her money and life on the road.

George has a background as a designer before moving over to the street art scene, having studied both art and design in University. We cover off how that move came about and discuss expiry dates and how long she can keep up the physical pace of leaping around ladders and scaling walls.

Thumbs up to Streamtime for making this episode happen, The Design Conference Brisbane for having us and Josie Young for guest hosting.

This was recorded during our time at The Design Conference in Brisbane where we managed to get Kris Sowersby to sit in the most ridiculous and ostentatious purple chair and ask him a few questions.

We cover everything from why he first fell in love with type, to why he remains independent and where the name Klim came from. Josie even gets to bully him into making round periods for Founders Grotesk. What she calls Foundies with Roundies.

Growing up in a house designed by Phillip Cox, with Marimekko curtains and with a reconditioned printing press in her house, it’s not surprising that Cat eventually found her way into the design world, but the beginning of her career started her off on a different journey.

From a Journalist at channel 7 to public affairs roles with Sydney Water and government organisations she eventually, perhaps inevitably made her way to Emery Vincent where she has spent 15 years and what is now called Frost Collective.

We spoke about purposeful brands and the importance of ideas, we spoke about the shift away from the industrial model of the past to today’s connection economy. We also spoke about equality in the workplace, embracing flexible and inclusive work schedules and how far we’ve come from needing employees to be chained to a desk to add value to a business.

Still in Tassie, still missing Flyn, Andy and Matt spoke with Vanessa Ward, Founder of Nomadism, about her fascinating life.

Now living in Hobart, Vanessa has had a life of travel, study and exploration. A respected strategist, product designer and thinker, Vanessa has worked for some of the most exciting design firms in the World, such as BMD (Bruce MayDesign) and FuseProject before setting up Nomadism in 2016 (with Sandy Oh and Dr Stella Humphries).

This episode charts a biographical path, from Vanessa’s entry into design via Architectonic Jewellery up to the recent building of her first home and what that taught her about design, permanency and sustainable technologies. It’s a roll-a-coaster of a life that is equal parts careful planning and happenstance.
