We're back with another new episode! 💫 The Exquisite Love, Magic and Maximalism of Londubh Studio 🖤 💜 Custom surface artists Lisa Donohoe and Brynn Gelbard met and fell in love in the queer underbelly scene of San Francisco in 2002, a time before bi-national same-sex marriage was legal. Their diverse community was built on love, curiosity and celebrating each other's differences. In an evolution that was equal parts organic maturity and cosmic intervention, Brynn and Lisa moved to Los Angeles and founded Londubh Studio, specializing in elaborate and maximalist hand-applied surface designs. Now the duo, often considered the design world’s secret weapon, are translating their wildness, love, magic, and the sacred, through exquisite artistry and pristine craft, into visual celebrations that vibrate with love and emanate joy. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts to their delightful chat with Amy Devers! AND, remember to cast your vote for Clever! We've been nominated for a Signal Award and it would mean the world to us to have your vote. 😍 You can do that here -- https://lnkd.in/egW5TJas

Clever (podcast) is a Signal Awards finalist in the category of Curators Shaping Culture! What an honor! This means we’re also eligible for a Signal Listener’s Choice Award! Please vote for Clever! https://lnkd.in/eFw65V8i If you’ve ever listened to an episode and discovered someone doing fascinating, important work that you weren’t yet aware of, or felt inspired, enlightened or just related real hard… please vote! We’re in great company so the competition is stiff! So, vote for us, but then definitely check out the other shows in our category. (And all of the Signal awards finalists!) Winning a Listener’s Choice Award would truly be transformational for us. If you’ve pitched a guest and read our curatorial guidelines, you know that I feel very strongly about curating an eclectic and dynamic mix of guests, some household names, some still under the radar, from all different disciplines and walks of life. Then I go to great lengths to create the conditions for a raw and candid conversation so that you, as a listener, can leave the episode feeling like you have gotten to know our guest in a real way, not just their work, the whole person - their full-spectrum humanity. We craft each episode with tremendous care and it is my mission and great honor to steward the stories and personal narratives of these creative visionaries  - these bright, driven and brave beings, who are at the very edge of everything, imagining and building new things (cities, systems, objects, policies, platforms, etc) into reality. And in the process, giving form to our evolving world and culture. We have over 217 evergreen episodes of these amazing stories for you to hear. You can think of our podcast feed like an archive of creative oral histories - the talks are still fresh and relevant no matter when you discover them. I believe so strongly in the power of these incredible creatives and their stories / missions / voices. Please listen, please share Clever widely and proudly, and please vote for us! With love and appreciation  - xx Amy p.s. If you vote, please let me know in the comments + share an episode that made an impact on you so others will check it out. :)

We're turning 20 and a nice way to celebrate is a recap of those special moments when we've been in the design eye. A flashback to Claudia's podcast on Clever (March 3, 2020). Take some time to listen to it...it's worth it! We loved it.

Happy October! This Fall, we're continuing to cozy up with some favorites from the archives. Today, we're sharing episode 170: Deem Journal’s Nu Goteh on Facilitating All Things Awesome ✨ Co-Founder of Deem Journal, designer Nu Goteh was born in Liberia and came to the US with his family as a refugee at the age of 3. His first career ambition, as a model son of African parents, was to become a doctor / lawyer. But as a sneakerhead, skater, and early-adopter of the internet, he kept making opportunities for himself in marketing, promoting, and graphic design. Now, as a founding principal of Room For Magic, Nu is using his unique talents to address complex creative challenges and facilitate equitable exchange between brands and communities. As if that weren’t enough, Nu along with Marquise Stillwell and Alice Grandoit (his partner at Room for Magic ), have founded Deem Journal, a deeply thought-provoking publication centered on design as a social practice. Deem is leading the way in presenting meaningful narratives around the process of design, and helping us all grow, heal, and imagine new possibilities in the process.
