Recorded with an audience live at D&AD’s London HQ, Lisa Smith, the new D&AD President and Global Chief Design Officer at Uncommon Creative Studio, joined host Claire Blyth, to share her life in design so far, which is nothing short of inspiring. 

On the podcast Lisa talks about her first steps into graphic design, from foundation art to knocking on doors to get a job, then time at agencies like Wolff Olins and JKR and in-house at Chobani.

She shares insights and learnings from key branding projects in her career, including Burger King, USA Today and the V&A.

She also digs deep on many issues, from mental health, to internal politics, to failing, and building resilience.
