About Our Guest — Debbie Millman
Named “one of the most creative people in business” by Fast Company and “one of the most influential designers working today” by Graphic Design USA, Debbie’s work sits at the intersection of design, storytelling, education, and culture.
She is the founder and host of Design Matters, one of the world’s first and longest-running podcasts, where she has interviewed more than 700 of the world’s leading creatives over the past two decades. The show has received a Cooper Hewitt National Design Award, multiple Webby Awards, Ambie nominations, and has been named one of Apple Podcasts’ “All-Time Favorites” three times.
She is the author of eight books, including Why Design Matters, Brand Thinking and Other Noble Pursuits, and Love Letter to a Garden (2025). Debbie is also the co-founder and Chair of the Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, now in its 16th year.
Previously, Debbie served as President of Sterling Brands for two decades, leading global branding initiatives for companies including Burger King, Hershey’s, Häagen-Dazs, Tropicana, Gillette, Star Wars, and the No More campaign to end domestic violence.
A past president of AIGA — and one of only five women to hold the role in its 100-year history, she received the organization’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019. In 2022, Harvard Business School introduced a case study on her career, and in 2024 she was appointed an Executive Fellow, where she is currently developing a new MBA course.
Debbie is also the Editorial Director and co-owner of Print magazine, a co-owner of The Rumpus, a board member of the Joyful Heart Foundation, and a member of Canva’s Design Advisory Board.
