Debbie Millman is the president of the design division at Sterling Brands in New York. She has done a lot of very well known work, such as the redesign of Pepsi, Proctor & Gamble, Campbell's. Colgate, Hershey's, and Hasbro. She is the president of AIGA and a contributing editor at Print Magazine. Debbie is a contributor to Design Matters, which is a weekly radio talk show about Design on the Internet.
I listened the The Stefan Sagmeister speech. He is interesting to listen to because of his emphasis on happiness. He discusses his year long sabbaticals he has been taking every seven years, in order to maintain happiness as a designer. He also talks about the documentary he is making about happiness that he describes as being very graphically designed. He Considers himself a designer, not an artist. talks about sabaitacals being neccessary when you are in a 'funk'."design has to work, art does not" Debbie does not agree- she thinks the need to serve a purpose, but rather or not they work is irrelevant, because one thing might make sense to one person and not to another person.
