On Design with Justyna Green

Liza Enebeis is the creative director of Studio Dumbar/DEPT®. In our conversation, we talk about all things motion design, type radio and Liza’s love of books. We also dive into Liza’s approach to life. She discusses the importance of embracing change and always testing yourself by stepping into uncomfortable and challenging situations, which can lead to growth and learning. Liza also shares an important lesson her father taught her - if you don't play, you can never win. It's a conversation about daring, following your curiosity, and living a whole, fulfilling life.

Micaiah Carter is a New-York based photographer, who portrayed Pharrell Williams, Naomi Osaka, Selena Gomez and others for the likes of Vanity Fair, Vogue, Vice, The New York Times and many more.

Micaiah is a remarkable storyteller, and his ability to use photography to transport us into worlds filled with love and tenderness is spellbinding.

In our conversation Micaiah opens up about his early memories, looking through his father’s photographs of the 70s Black America and how these provided an early influence for his own creative practice.

We also talk about loss and grief, as Micaiah’s father sadly passed away a few years ago, leaving behind countless albums and photographs.

Micaiah also shares with us his own love of creating memories and legacy through photography and discusses the importance of being seen and his beautiful project – and exhibition – American Black Beauty.

In our conversation Paola discusses her role at MoMA, the current exhibition Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design and digital collections. A lovely part of our conversation is also getting to know Paola personally and learning about how her career and life choices came to be. She uses a beautiful metaphor of catching a wave which I know will resonate with you.

In this episode, Justyna invites a very special co-host to share the podcast space with her and they have an informal chat about all things design. You get to know Justyna and the co-host more and learn what makes them tick. They discuss AI and Stable Diffusion and how they might affect creatives and Justyna shares a bunch of recommendations - from adult cartoons to sexual wellness apps as well as body typography. It's a relaxed chat which we hope you will enjoy.

Anna Charity is a freelance creative director. She was also the first head of design at Headspace, who established the headspace brand we know and love, and for the past three years, she’s been heading up design at Kama - a sexual wellness business that sees pleasure as an important part of our health.

In our conversation, we talk about branding and design for things that are invisible - like meditation and also for topics that are sensitive - like sex. We discuss how to create brands that are inclusive and diverse and how to talk about matters linked to our well-being in an empathetic and sensitive way.

In the second half of the podcast, we further explore the theme of creating visual stories for matters that many people experience, but are rarely talked about - Anna opens up about her miscarriages and also shares her story of reconnecting with her father after 30 years. It’s an honest conversation infused with a lot of optimism and hope.
