This week’s DesignThinkers podcast features independent designer and writer Elizabeth Goodspeed, whose work blends history, research, and visual culture across branding, editorial, and packaging design. In the conversation, she discusses how archives and ephemera shape her creative process, how designers can use history without becoming nostalgic, and why research and writing can lead to more original ideas. She also reflects on teaching, the importance of slow craft, and the value of paying closer attention to everyday visual, highlighting how curiosity and thoughtful research can help designers develop a stronger, more personal creative practice.
