‘I don’t believe in work-life balance’

I had the pleasure to meet the one and only Debbie Millman at last year’s TYPO Berlin conference. Debbie is a designer and brand expert who has worked with some of the biggest clients, she is an author, a teacher, a former president of the AIGA, as well as a podcaster. The born New Yorker has an incredible vita, but is probably best known for the Design Matters podcast which she runs for 13 years already!

In the interview, Debbie and I talk about Manhattan, failures, refusing once-in-lifetime opportunities, Design Matters and much more. We also talked briefly about Print Magazine, where Debbie was editorial and creative director until the magazine has suspended publication just a few weeks ago. At the end, I am asking her about her 10 year plan strategy for a remarkable life. This idea could even change your life.

The interview was recorded in May 2017.
