Debbie Millman

Designer, author, and host of “Design Matters” - the world’s first and longest-running design podcast. For over 18 years, Millman has interviewed more than 500 creative leaders, not to build her own brand, but to elevate others’ stories and help emerging creatives learn from established voices. She teaches at SVA’s MFA Design program, writes books that demystify creative careers, and consistently uses her platform to amplify underrepresented designers. Millman’s entire career demonstrates that building others’ creative confidence simultaneously strengthens your own. Her generous approach proves that creativity isn’t a zero-sum game - the more you give, the more access you have.
