This week, we bring back frequent guests Ashley McFeely and Steve Gordon to talk about what they’ve been up to lately, how to talk about your design work, what skills are best to have now, and more. This was one of those shows we had so much fun recording, that we ended up talking more after […]

Brian Buirge and Jason Bacher were on the 5th day of a 52 day road trip, with at least 20 confirmed event stops (they are probably stopping by your local AIGA chapter this month, so check them out), when they swung by the studio to chat. And then, well off to speak at an AIGA […]

For years, on both this podcast and the old Be A Design Cast, we’ve been promoting Drew Davies for the AIGA National Board. Well, a couple years ago, he made it (listeners know he’s been on both of our podcasts a number of times, and even since being on the board).

On this episode, Jim talks about the power of saying “no.” We then talk about designing […]

We continue our HOW Live interviews this week with Joseph Duffy of Duffy & Partners. We basically speak about packaging and branding using the visual brief that Duffy & Partners has fine-tuned over the years. We also speak of the new Mall of America work they have done. And co-hosting? Why, it’s none other that the return […]

HOW Live in San Francisco may have ended almost two weeks ago (hear our coverage of the event), but we’re just getting started here at 36 Point. While there, we were able to do some other recordings as well – including five full episodes of The Reflex Blue Show – the first one of which […]
