Design Chatter features notable guests from creative disciplines, the occasional thought piece, humor, and tangents in an accessible and engaging format. We crave creativity and thoughtful conversation about design and the personalities behind it. The more interesting the individual, the more rich the discussion and the more provocative the application to our own design interests. We hope you like what you hear!

This podcast is an output of several creatives at Sasaki, a global design firm based in Boston, MA and Shanghai. At Sasaki, we think beyond the building, beyond the site, beyond the grid, to design for people and for society. We create places that prove human potential.
