Design can seem complex on the surface, yet underneath it all, it’s a conversation about humanity. As tools shift and trends move fast, it’s easy to lose sight of why we create. So how do we stay grounded in the human story behind the work?

To help us explore that, we’re joined by Isaiah McClean, a designer and storyteller who reminds us that design goes far beyond what appears on screen. Isaiah brings a grounded, thoughtful perspective on creating with intention. He invites us to see design as something lived, something felt, and something that shapes how we connect with each other.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Isaiah’s path as a designer and storyteller
• How to create work that feels human rather than just polished
• What it looks like to slow down, notice more, and design with purpose

As you listen, let Isaiah’s reflections pull you back to the heart of design: there is always a person on the other side. Intention matters. Care matters. And the digital spaces we build say a lot about how we choose to show up for one another.
