We reached out in the community and had conversations like never before with friends "old and new, good and true". We discussed the journey of life and career in the community of creators, founders, leaders, artists, corporates and misfits.

These conversations make "designwise" podcasts, that are inspired by creativity, talent, fun and growth. They go beyond the recognition value and deep into creating humane experiences, not just digital and social connections that are full of simplicity, rawness, reality and flaws, and yes! many flaws.
