We have a chat with Stevan Wittenbrock a recently retired Industrial Designer. This is an interesting talk about a long life in Industrial Design and the changes that have happened since he started in Industrial Design in the early 70s. Stevan is a great guy and I hope we get to talk to him more in the future but from Portugal, not Portland.

We talk to Tom and his life long love of conservation and Design. He tells us about his transition from being a Designer to a Design Thinker working with the Department of Fish and Wildlife in Washington State. This shows us that being in Design is a multi-tiered path and there is no one way to be a Designer. As a Designer, it can take you many places and your passions don’t have to be side projects.

Dieter Rams is the undisputed God Father of Industrial Design. He was one of the reasons I went into Industrial Design from Architecture. He mentioned how he dislikes the consumer society that he took part in. We question that premise and challenge that idea. Really his thoughts on Design will have a big impact on future Designers. Him not going into Design as he stated would actually would have made things worse.

We talk a little about new Designs and new ideas. Are there really any new ideas or Designs? Is there really anyone coming up with new ideas or is everything borrowed from what we see every day? Either we see things from other products or we borrow ideas from nature.
