Debbie Millman

Artist, Broadcaster, Designer, Educator, Writer / By

Debbie has interviewed over 200 people for her podcast, Design Matters, and the opportunity to ask her the questions was exciting, albeit slightly intimidating. With 30 years of professional experience and a multitude of personal projects under her belt, Debbie is a force in the world of design, but there’s more to her story than her current successes. In fact, Debbie was generous in sharing about the years of rejection and despair that she experienced before finding her niche. Her stories and insights will challenge you, encourage you, and confirm that you’re not alone in your struggles. But in Debbie’s words, sometimes “the worst moments of our life can turn out to the best.” So go on, be brave, bold, and above all, keep trying. —Tina
