Designer, writer, educator, artist, curator, Debbie is internationally known as the host of the podcast Design Matters, the absoulte benchmark for all design podcasts, and of course the inspiration behind Parola Progetto.
We discuss about success and fear of change, long lasting projects and the need to be fast, touching on politics, education and the role of AI in design. Debbie also introduces us to the essence of creativity, and the importance of courage over confidence.
