This is a special episode. It’s not everyday you get to chat with one of your professional idols! Ellen Lupton is a writer, curator, educator, and designer. Her most recent book, Extra Bold: a feminist, inclusive, anti-racist, nonbinary field guide for graphic designers, was published earlier this month and it’s an incredible resource for everyone in the design industry. 

In this episode, you’ll hear from Ellen about why this book, and the subject matter contained within, is so needed in the field of design. You’ll also hear why design is the perfect discipline to normalize the visual language of equity, diversity and inclusion. Ellen also provides insights about the way in which design is a tool for change, helping to give visual shape to social movements. And, as one of the greatest typographic minds on the planet, she gives as near a perfect answer as possible to my question about the single typeface she would use for the rest of her life. Also joining us on this episode bringing his unique perspective and voice, is Diana’s colleague and friend, Chris Ambedkar.
