Sharpened by Millman’s penetrating commentary, the candid musings teem with insight and empathy. “Debbie Millman brings her Design Matters podcast, ‘about how the most creative people in the world create their lives,’ to the page with this excellent interview anthology. Guests over the age of five must wear masks and show proof of vaccination (either a vaccine card or an Excelsior Pass). Grouped by category-Legends, Truth Tellers, Culture Makers, Trendsetters, and Visionaries-these eye-opening, entertaining, and enlightening conversations-offer insights into new ways of being and living. In this illustrated, curated anthology, Millman includes approximately 80 of her best interviews with visionaries from across diverse fields. In those conversations, she has not only explored what it means to design a creative life, but has, as Millman’s wife, Roxane Gay, assesses in her foreword, “created a gloriously interesting and ongoing conversation about what it means to live well, overcome trauma, face rejection, learn to love and be loved, and thrive both personally and professional.” Over the course of her popular podcast’s fifteen-year reign, Debbie Millman has interviewed more than 400 creative minds. If the event space is at capacity during the talk, guests will be welcome to attend the signing afterward.Īuthor Debbie Millman will be in conversation with Roxane Gay to celebrate the launch of her new book Why Design Matters: Conversations with the World's Most Creative People.
