“What does it take to design for one of the most iconic toy companies in the world?

In this episode, Jordi and MiFe (MA Design for Play, Industrial Design) share their experiences interning at the LEGO Group in two different departments: Element Design and the Creative Play Lab. From designing new LEGO pieces to exploring innovative ways to play, they take us behind the scenes of how creativity works inside a global company.

Together, we discuss the differences between exploratory innovation and product development, the challenges of designing within LEGO’s strict system rules, and how teamwork shapes the design process. Jordi and MiFe also share practical advice for students interested in applying for LEGO internships, including tips on portfolios, cover letters, and standing out as a candidate.

If you're curious about play design, design internships, or how creativity functions inside a large company, this episode offers an inside look at the world of LEGO design.”

“What happens when a simple social deduction game escapes the table and takes over real life?

In this episode, Mirte (MA Play, Industrial Design) takes us deep into her large-scale, location-based Werewolf game,  a two-week immersive experience that transformed the school into a living narrative of trust, betrayal, fear, and play. From secret group chats and midnight strategies to theatrical deaths and emotional intensity, we explore how game design can shape human behavior far beyond rules and cards.

Together, we unpack Mirte’s research-driven approach to play, her fascination with narration and world-building, and how this project is evolving into her master’s thesis, combining academic research, physical design, and emotional experience into one immersive system.

If you’re curious about play, participation, emotional design, or how games can blur the line between fiction and reality, this episode is for you.”

What does it really mean to find your creative voice as a design student? In this episode, Maricel, Dominika, and Alma, our Master Ambassadors, share their journeys of self-discovery, from revisiting childhood inspiration to embracing sustainability, storytelling, and play in their work.

Hosts Kjartan and Mirabel explore how living abroad, moving between cities, and stepping into ambassador roles has shaped their perspectives, both as designers and as people. From the challenges of mastering your craft to the joy of connecting with others, this conversation uncovers the human side of design that brochures can’t capture.

Whether you’re curious about Play, People, Planet, or just what it’s like to grow into your creative self, this episode is full of insight, honesty, and inspiration.

Meet the new hosts of Post-it Talks! 🎤✨
Shark and Mirabel step into the spotlight to share their stories, their path to design school, and why they joined the podcast. From magic camp memories to bag-making epiphanies, this episode is about growth, community, and embracing new challenges.

Ever wonder how to build a cultural movement with no fixed address? 💭

This week, Mishal chats with Annesophie and Lukas: two culture-makers turning ideas into impact in Kolding. From Sunday creative cafés to queer collectives, they show us that “community” isn’t a place, it’s people.

In this episode, former student and host Marco returns as a guest to chat with Asa and Mishal about life after graduation and his journey into the design industry.

He talks about taking a break post-uni to update his portfolio and the resilience needed to navigate job rejections. His master’s project explored a universally designed kitchen—an inclusive space for people with and without disabilities, focusing on designing with inclusivity in mind, not for a specific group.

Originally fixated on creating one perfect, all-encompassing object, Marco now—through his work at Samsung, embraces designing for a range of users. Customization and choice have become key, giving people the freedom to shape their own spaces.

He also touches on blending material exploration with human-centered design, and how staying ahead of trends helps bring future-ready products to life. While he keeps the secrets of Samsung close, he gives a thoughtful glimpse into designing at a global scale.

Tune in if you want to bring back the Walkman but also if you want to gather some inspiration in preparing for the industry while hearing our hosts struggle to clap together. 

In this episode, our lovely Ambassadors from the MA programme dive into the real experiences of studying design abroad. Along with our hosts, Mishal and Asa, they break past the brochures and get honest about life as international design students—from dealing with loneliness, weather struggles, and late-night work habits to redefining what "good design" actually means.

They also unpack some big surprises about studying Play, Planet, and People—whether it’s discovering that Play isn’t just about toys, realizing that sustainable design has no perfect solutions, or embracing deep collaboration with real people in design projects. And, of course, like every episode, they wrap things up with some fun, including a chaotic word game and a very questionable group drawing exercise.

So, if you're curious about what it’s really like to study design in Denmark—beyond the polished pitches—tune in and stick around!

From being a straight A student in high school, to studying architecture, and turning to design, our guest Moe rediscovered her love for art along the way and with a determined mindset, went on to pursue it professionally. With acrylics, pens, and ink in hand, Moe brings her personal touch to everything she creates. She shares her inspiring story of perseverance, creativity, and finding joy through art with our hosts Asa and Mishal– all it takes is getting your version of some art supplies and painting through life and finding your joy. 

Tune into a delightful conversation that brings together favourite purchases in Denmark, joyful moments and mirrors reflecting more than just the one side of you. 

Not a big fan of cheese, our guest this week, Anna talks moulds with the hosts Asa and Mishal. Not the moulds that could grow on the said cheese but the craft of mould making, as a tool for knowledge generation. While she will soon develop her Master’s project around this analog method that allows one to observe nature, and possibly take care of it. She also goes on to share an unusual, exploratory project with hair. Fallen hair? Hair in your food? What would it be like to have a plate or fork made of some? 

Tune in to hair, I mean hear more about the root of this theme and grab some delicious Danish pastries or a hotdog while you’re at it for a wonderfully appetising conversation. You might even get to hear a description of the bottom of a snake!

Mixing the rules from design into his pursuit of art, our guest this week considers himself to be an inventor, a dying title in today’s times. Baptiste, traveled all the way from New Caledonia, changed professions from an engineer to a designer and chose to discover more about design in Scandinavia, even though his own personal style is quite the opposite. In this treasure trove of a conversation with our lovely hosts Mishal and Asa, Baptiste shares his love for costumes, his quest for challenging the brief and making himself memorable every step of the way. 

Unafraid of looking at things differently, Baptiste talks about the homogeneity in the consumption of most designer products today. Two words– Manifesting Muskies. Follow the star, jump into the void and tune in to find out what that is!
