In last episode of season 2, Rae sits down with award-winning designer and professor Courtney Windham and design publisher and author Margaret Fletcher for a conversation about what it actually takes to document the undocumentable, creative process itself. Together, they unpack the origin story of their book Discovering Design Process: Into the Beautiful Mess, from a seed grant idea born out of a hallway conversation to five years of interviews, cross-country travel, and thousands of printed, hand-cut, and carefully collaged strips of paper taped to walls. They explore what it means to find the “beautiful weirdos” of design, why the mess around a designer’s workspace is a map of their thinking, and how true process can’t be fully captured until you’ve actually lived through it.
Along the way, they touch on working across disciplines, graphic design and architecture finding unexpected common ground . the surprising analog method behind a heavily cross-referenced book, and why the most important thing they want readers to walk away with is simple:: start. You won’t learn your process by studying it,you will learn it by beginning.
