Women at Work

There are people born to lead, and then there are people born to teach leaders where to head. April Greiman has always been at the forefront of visual design, the Arts, media and, of course, technology; she was one of the first creators to use computers to make art using video, and she founded the New Age movement in the late 70s, just to mention a few. Above all, she is fueled by a miracle characteristic in human beings: curiosity.

Growth is not linear; paths are not straight either. Lozano, who was going to be a mechanical engineer, had a crush on typography, Design and technology when working towards a better society for undocumented immigrants, one of the most solid, free of judgment and authentic introductions to creativity we’ve heard. Questioning is part of the design process, isn’t it?

Everything we could say about Debbie Millman wouldn’t do justice to listening to her wisdom; this writer of 7 books, designer, educator, artist, brand consultant and host of the iconic podcast Design Matters is the best opening for season 4 we could ask for—the perfect dose of inspiration to change the world, little by little.

The 3rd season of Women at Work by Hey is finishing, so we wanted to do something different. Here you are, an unorthodox episode to say goodbye to this fantastic 2023 edition full of insider secrets of how we do what we do.

Most certainly, knowing what you want to be from a very young age can be a blessing. Sometimes, it can be a burden. In Jade Purple Brown’s case, it was the certification that determination, mixed with talent, a strong love for colour, bold images, a unique style and a voice full of conscience, was her winning leap of faith. Her work is a happy song that changes the world with a vintage touch.

Many things have changed in Journalism in the past 20 years; Gail Bichler, Creative Director at The New York Times Magazine, has witnessed and participated in the evolution from the most iconic print issues to digital storytelling and the finest content design. Never at Women at Work by Hey have we had such a great insight into the editorial design as Gail, so if you’re hungry for inspiration, listen to our latest episode.

A London-based art director, graphic communication designer, professor at Central Saint Martins and lecturer; that’s the fantastic Tina Touli. She’s worked for top international clients and runs her studio, all by understanding Design, style and the profession in her own terms. Listen to our latest interview if you need a healthy dose of determination and talent.

This might be one of the best interviews we’ve done at Women at Work, not because of us but because of our unending respect for Gail Anderson and her unique self. This Graphic Designer, writer, educator and Senior Art Director at Rolling Stone Magazine (one of the moments in a career full of outstanding work and international awards) will put a smile on your face. Seriously, a master's lesson.

A unique style, a mix of digital and analogue, the necessary amount of nostalgia and tones of awareness when scrolling through modern times: the recipe for Dahyun Hwang's success is simple and effective.

If there was a rocket ship towards Eva's characters' planet, we would happily fasten our seatbelts.
