Listening to Demi Moore’s beautiful acceptance speech last night at the Golden Globes, I was shocked to hear her say that for a long time she thought she “wasn’t enough.” I’ve been thinking about this ever since. How could this stunning, world famous, successful actor feel this way? When are our accomplishments ever enough? When can we feel content? Can we ever be satisfied? Must there always be a next step, a new goal, a higher bar to reach? When is enough enough?

If you had to add up all of the creative people have appeared most on Design Matters, designers would come in first. Especially since I interviewed designers almost exclusively in the early days of this podcast. But a close second are artists. So many designers also have an art practice or their work simply bridges the divide between design and art. On the second Best of 2024 episode, I’m sharing excerpts from interviews with four very different artists. Es Devlin is a set designer who often works on a grand scale. She’s created concert sets for Beyonce and Lady Gaga, for opera festivals, the Olympics and even the Super Bowl. Olafur Eliasson is an artist who also works on a grand scale. His sculptures, installations and experiments with light and water have been drawing huge audiences for several decades. Nell Irvin Painter is a celebrated historian and academic who took up art later in life. And Carson Ellis is an author and illustrator. Her bestselling books for children include “Home” and “Du Iz Take?” Her latest book, “One Week in January,” is for adults, and it illustrates a diary she kept in her twenties. We’re nearing the 20th anniversary of this podcast and we have lots more new episodes coming soon. Link to listen is in my bio or here: https://tinyurl.com/wartists

Wicked. West Side Story. Hamilton. These stories have lots of iconic, memorable characters. And those characters? Well, they all need iconic and memorable costumes. Costumes that align with a character, that are in harmony with the set design but that also capture the viewer’s imagination. Paul Tazwell has designed the costumes of Ariana Grande’s Glinda, Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba, Rachel Zeler’s Maria, Daveed Diggs’ Jefferson, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton and many, many, many more. For three decades Paul has been designing costumes for theater, film, television, opera and ballet. He’s won an Emmy, a Tony and has just been nominated for an Academy Award for his groundbreaking work on @wickedmovie. Paul joined me on Design Matters to talk about his career and how he goes about costuming some of the most memorable characters of our time. Link to listen in my bio. Thank you @paultazewell for joining me for this sparkly conversation!
My new episode of Design Matters this week is with the legendary @sethgodin. This event was at the @svatheatre and the latest in our annual collaborations with @swissmiss and her marvelous organization @creativemorning. Seth shared his wisdom and huge heart, and we talked about his new (brilliant) book, “This Is Strategy.” Seth also gifted 400 copies to the audience, and signed every one! Seth is one of the most extraordinarily generous people I’ve ever met and it was a true honor to be able to interview him again. Link to listen is in my bio.
