Description
We are two industrial designers, Kai & Jakob, who graduated from the University of Wuppertal.
In this podcast, we want to share stories from our daily lives as designers and bring the topic of design closer to you.
We'll show you what goes on in our workday, but also what happens outside of design.
How did we get into this? What do you actually do as a designer? And how quickly can you down a case of beer?
We’ll try to answer these questions and hope you enjoy listening and maybe even drinking along!
