A group of fantastic people. You should definitley join, if you can.

I first met Debbie Millman early in my career. It was early in both of our careers. She was working as the creative director for Sterling Brands and I was a poster designer hell bent on changing the world.

We had both been newly elected to the New York AIGA board. I was impressed by Debbie right off. I remember we were organizing a holiday party and sale of graphic materials and cupcakes to support the AIGA. She was not only a good team player, but a great leader and organizer.

Even then she had already perfected her iconic black and white style of dress.

We both taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She later would become one of the originators of the MFA program there with her branding program. My undergrad students would often funnel into her class.

One of the projects she had students do was particularly life changing for her students. In the very first class, Debbie would record them speaking and presenting nervously in front of the group. Then during the year, take them through lessons and experiments about presenting their ideas and work in public.

She would record them again at the end of the semester and show them their progress. There were always tears, the students were proud and amazed at how far they had come. What a gift Debbie created for her students.

The list of Debbie Millman’s accomplishments is inspiring, she’s a writer, artist, educator and of course host of one of the most influential podcasts on the planet, “Design Matters.”

Join Debbie, myself and my other guests March 12,13 in NYC at the beautiful SVA Theater for “FEARless” for the Symposium and Dinner Series.

Alright. First of Berlin are ready. Here is Thorsten Jonas and “Each Design Is a Manifesto for the Future”, with which he opened Berlin’s 2025 edition. Sorry for the delay, but have been handicapped during the last week. More to follow.

The world is on the edge right now. Climate crises, rising inequalities on many levels, the return of realities we thought we had overcome. The digital produ...

Speaker introduction: I’m really looking forward to the session of Lucy Blakiston () at in Berlin. If you know her work with “Sh*t You Should Care About” () or her book “Make It Make Sense” (German edition here), you already know she has a unique way of making sense of the internet without ever making it boring.

This isn’t going to be a “death by slides” presentation. Instead, Lucy will sit down with her friend Sacha Judd () for a real conversation about life online in 2025. They’ll cover what it means to live so much of our lives on the internet, why communities matter more than clout, how fandom can spark entire careers, and what AI is doing to the future of digital media.

It promises to be one of those talks where you leave not only entertained, but also with a new perspective on the world you scroll through every day.

beyond tellerrand Berlin 2025 is taking place on November 6 and 7 with workshops and Side Events on 5th and 8th.
