March is ending with a great interview with product designer Kat Vellos. Kat’s unique approach to user experience design comes from her past work in visual design, education, and facilitation. Very cool!

We talked about some of her current projects, including #EndSmallTalk and the popular Bay Area Black Designers meetup. We also discussed mentorship and how people can use design in their communities. Kat’s curious and inquisitive nature, combined with her background, makes her a really thoughtful designer. I’m interested in seeing what else she does in the future!

We're ending January talking to the always creative Ayana Baltrip-Balagás.

We’re closing out January with a great interview with another multitalented creator — San Francisco’s own Ayana Baltrip-Balagás. She’s a designer, a photographer, a business owner, an educator, and so much more!

Our conversation started off talking about the Organization of Black Designers, and from there we went into Ayana’s history as an actress and dancer (and how that led into photography and design). We also touched on design education, and Ayana shared some great information on design thinking, the importance of Black designers having a strong online presence, and ways that the design industry can really start taking diversity seriously. Thank you Ayana for being a beacon of hope and a force for creative change!

This week's interview is with LA-based mobile developer Vaughn Dabney.

“I am a firm believer in doing what you love no matter what it takes.” Vaughn Dabney’s philosophy of happiness has led him to personal and professional success, and I couldn’t think of a better person to have on the show during a time of the year when we’re all making goals and resolutions to improve.

We talked about what drew him to mobile development, his dev platform of choice, his company Empty Box Media, and where he sees his company going in the future. For Vaughn, being happy is his #1 concern, and it’s clear that his work gives him the freedom to do pursue his dreams. Enjoy the interview!

Episode 15: Emory Douglas

Emory Douglas has been called the "Norman Rockwell of the ghetto", but "American design legend" sounds much better. Learn more in this week's interview.

Emory DouglasFor the month of January, we have a 3-part “Design Journeys” series — podcast interviews with designers that have been featured on AIGA.org.

Rounding out our series here on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is an interview with Emory Douglas, the former Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1960-1981. I think you’ll really enjoy this talk with an American design legend.
