    Trust (but verify) the universe with Brian Graham

    Trust (but verify) the universe with Brian Graham

    In today's episode, we welcome back Brian Graham, a fan favorite who always brings his unique blend of humor, thoughtfulness, and insight to our discussions.

    After our previous episode with Brian, we received an overwhelming response from listeners who wanted to hear more from him. So, we invited him back to chat about his recent trip to the IIDA Industry Roundtable in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Brian and Doug share their biggest takeaways from the event (including their take on the 2022 Oxford Dictionary word of the year....Goblin Mode).

    Join Doug and Brian as they explore the significance of placing trust in the universe, embracing risks as a designer, and the crucial role of robust leadership and mentorship in the design industry.

    Creativity Tips from LEGO’s Creative Director, James Gregson

    Creativity Tips from LEGO’s Creative Director, James Gregson

    This summer, the Imagine a Place team huddled to ask the question:  Who would be the perfect guest to explore creativity?   So, naturally, the conclusion was: Let’s talk to a Creative Director at a REALLY creative company.

    This led us straight to James Gregson at Lego. James’ work as the Creative Director for LEGO’s internal creative agency has landed him on AD Week’s Creative 100 List and over the course of his career, he’s done work for brands that include New Balance, Atari, and Mercedes-Benz. Currently, James is a  leader within The LEGO Group’s internal creative agency, leading a team of digital content strategists, creative designers, producers, and video editors, responsible for creating best-in-class digital content for LEGO social media channels.

    And… you know… we didn’t want to just hog James all to ourselves, so we opened up a call out on social media for questions… and wow, did they pour in for James - you’ll hear those questions in this interview. There’s advice for building creativity in remote and hybrid work, how to stay inspired, and what element is at the core of creativity… It’s a 100% Creativity-Centered episode.

    The subtle art of placemaking.

    The subtle art of placemaking.

    Danya Hakky, Ph.D. is an Interior Designer and Design Researcher for Perkins Eastman, a global architecture and design firm. She is also a co-author of the recently published research paper, "The Subtle Art of Place Making," which sought to answer the question: Why do we still need to create meaningful places when virtual settings and interactions are on the rise?

    The findings of this research do two things really well.  First, it breaks down the fundamental role that place plays in our world today.  It also includes a collection of place attributes that have been cleverly broken into note cards -- These attribute cards serve as sort of a conversation toolkit that you can use to support your design discussions among colleagues or clients.  

    This conversation toolkit and research paper are free for you to engage with!

    Here’s the link: https://www.perkinseastman.com/white-papers/the-subtle-art-of-placemaking/

    In our conversation with Danya, we hear her take on the purpose of place and the role of research in design.  There are some brilliant aha moments scattered across this conversation that we know you’ll enjoy.

    Inspiring for purpose.

    Inspiring for purpose.
    We had a podcast lined up for today, but we’ve decided to pause this week to offer some space to listen and understand the gravity of what must change. The goal of this podcast, and the Imagine a Place platform, is to explore the powerful role that place plays in our lives, but also give a voice to those wanting to be heard and tell stories that have meaning in our industry. Now is the time for us to go further with this goal and share stories that inspire for purpose. We hope you’ll help us in this journey and invite you to share ideas of other voices you feel are deserving of attention during this time. Feel free to email us at imagineaplace@ofs.com, we’d love to hear from you. In the meantime, please take yourself and take care of each other. From all of us here at Imagine a Place, thank you for listening and we’ll be listening too. Follow Doug on LinkedIn. Click here to get your copy of Doug's children's book—Design Your World.
