1. Gadi Amit: The Culture of Design
Listen now
Description
Overview We’re joined for the launch of The Design Podcast by internationally renowned designer, Gadi Amit. Gadi is a multi-award designer and leading authority on the craft. He is the President and Principal Designer of NewDealDesign where for over 20 years he has created products for Dell, Comcast, AT&T, Google, and Fitbit to name a few. In his conversation with our host Ashton Snook, Gadi explains the egalitarian culture behind NewDeal’s success. We learn about his design theories such as “the wisdom of the hand”, unpack his design principles, and learn of his passion for visualising complex problems so they can be understood by the many. We discuss his perspectives on the state of western education and its lack of support for the arts and crafts, alongside Gadi's reflections on where design falls short and where we need to look next. This is a conversation packed full of insights, stories, and amusing anecdotes (which even include First Lady, Michelle Obama) from a true master of design.
