DesignThinkers Podcast
From the Association of Registered Graphic Designers, this is the DesignThinkers podcast. In celebration of 25 years of the DesignThinkers Conference we dig into our archives and reconnect with past speakers about the talks and ideas that have shaped their careers—and the event. You’ll hear from powerhouses such as Paula Scher, Lauren Hom, Michael Bierut, Karin Fong and Sagi Haviv—just to name a few.

This week's guest is Pentagram partner, Michael Bierut. Michael has been at Pentagram for more than 30 years. He's led projects for clients like The New York Times, MIT Media Lab, Mastercard, Princeton University, and the New York Jets. He's also the cofounder of the Design Observer and has authored countless books on graphic design. In this episode, we talk about his early career landing in New York City in 1980. We discuss his first job, working at Vignelli Associates, and what it was like to unravel that influence later in his career.
