“Everyone is a designer.” Proclaimed IDEO’s Tim Brown. The Design ’n’ Tell podcast explores the truth of this idea. We believe that each of us is creative and therefore a designer in our own right. Think about it, we’re constantly designing - from our day, to processes to do things more quickly and easily, to routines to better manage our time, and the work we do.

The hosts, Nisha and Nidhi unpack current events and important issues in the context of design as we know it, in candid, across the table style conversations. This podcast includes discussions with not just designers but guests from all walks of life, those leading the way in their craft, about the role of design in shaping their work, decisions they’ve made and the products/services they work on.
