Рет қаралды 25,624
5 жыл бұрынWhat is the arc of a creative life? How do you design who you are and who you become? What journey do you take? What motivates creative people? Where does creativity come from? Can we design the arc of our own lives?
In this video, Chris and Matthew have the opportunity to sit down with the legendary Debbie Millman, at the AIGA Design Conference 2019, in Pasadena, CA. They discuss things that keep Debbie up at night, common characteristics between creatives, and what it's like to reach your peak.

I had to watch the interview twice to understand why the roles were changed in the interview... She is a great interviewer but I get the feeling that something for some reason made her turn the attention to Chris and not on her. Chris is a gentleman and he handled the interview very well, even accepting (knowingly) that the interviewee change roles. Great people both! all three of them :)

This is going to come out of left field, but there is a way of how Debbie responds to these questions that reminds me of Mark Hamill. There is a sense of confidence and experience that is presented with what feels like honest and genuine responses. Maybe not as much "gruff" (particularly pointing to Mark's beard), but there is a sense of familiarity that I can appreciate when she touches on these subjects. It may also help that Mark also is a creative professional who uses his stills in acting and shares that in interviews. Maybe not the easiest parallel to draw, but if we are to connect the threads a bit more, Nathan Hamill makes designer toys and illustrations, so in a sense we can connect it. I digress. This, and most of the videos on here are invaluable to creatives and have certainly been helping rediscover my own personal spark as I'm searching for my inner well of drive and motivation. Thank you!

I was listening to The Futur’s latest podcast episode with Mika Saulitis, and when Chris mentioned Debbie Millman, I said to myself: “wait, what, they’ve talked to each other?”. Went on the rabbit hole to search for this and found it! This is so wonderful! I’ve followed Debbie Millman for years before I discovered Chris and TheFutur , and gosh, I love that you are both in one conversation. Really hope you’ll get her on the show and you on hers!

Can we ask a question where does breathing come from? In usual conditions most of us start our journey outside-in - what matter is how consciously we do it. Thanks for sharing wonderful content!
