The world’s first Design Matters podcast about design and an inquiry into the broader world of creative culture through wide-ranging conversations with designers, writers, artists, curators, musicians, and other luminaries of contemporary thought.
Debbie Millman is the author of seven books, including three collections of interviews that have extended the ethos and editorial vision of Design Matters to the printed page: How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer and Brand Thinking and Other Noble Pursuits. Both books have been published in over 10 languages.
Her most recent book, Why Design Matters: Conversations with the World’s Most Creative People, was published by Harper Collins in 2022.
For 20 years, Debbie Millman was the President of Sterling Brands, one of the world’s leading branding consultancies. She arrived in 1995 when the company was two years old and had 15 employees in one office.
Under her leadership, Sterling grew to 150 employees in five offices, and she was instrumental in the firm’s acquisition by Omnicom in 2008. Omnicom is one of the world’s largest holding companies. While there she worked on the logo and brand identity for Burger King, Hershey’s, Haagen Dazs, Tropicana, Star Wars, Gillette, and the No More movement.
Debbie is a frequent speaker on design and branding and has spoken at TED Women. Her talk was one of the Top Ten most popular talks of 2020, and currently has over two million views.
She has also moderated Design Yatra in India, presented keynote lectures at Rotman School of Management, Princeton University, Yale University, Michigan Modern, the Hong Kong Design Association, the Melbourne Writers Festival, Design Thinkers in Toronto, the Festival of Art and Design in Barcelona, Brand Nieuwe Conference in Amsterdam, Webstock in New Zealand, QVED in Munich, Beyond Tellerand in Berlin, ING in Dubai, ND2C in Pakistan, PS One in China, Web Summit in Lisbon, Design Indaba in South Africa and many more.
Named “one of the most influential designers working today” by Graphic Design USA, and “one of the most creative people working in business” by Fast Company, Debbie Millman is also an author, educator, brand strategist and host of the podcast Design Matters.
As the founder and host of Design Matters, the first and longest running podcast about design, Millman has interviewed nearly 300 design luminaries and cultural commentators, including Massimo Vignelli, Milton Glaser, Malcolm Gladwell, Dan Pink, Barbara Kruger, Seth Godin and more.
In the 11 years since its inception, the Design Matters show has garnered over 5 million downloads per year, a Cooper Hewitt National Design Award and—most recently—iTunes designated it one of the best podcasts of 2015.
