Professors Don Adleta and Karen Nulf, legends in the Graphic Design area at Ohio University's School of Art + Design, sit down with Talking Studio guest host and OHIO alumnus, Elliot Strunk, BFA '95 in graphic design, to reflect on design, their service as professors to hundreds of students, and to share a few choice stories about life as artists.

For Elliot, who has remained in touch with Don and Karen since graduating, this interview made whole the snippets of stories he's heard from them both over the years.

This interview is part of OHIO's spring 2021 celebration of design events that highlight OHIO's alumni and programs dedicated to the design profession. Other events celebrating design at OHIO follow:
