We’re Kai & Jakob, two industrial designers talking about design, everyday chaos, creative work, and whatever else comes up along the way. In this podcast, we share stories from our lives as designers, what happens behind projects, and the random conversations that somehow always end up around creativity. How did we get into this? What does a designer actually do all day? And how many beers does it take to solve a problem? :)
We’re trying to find out every Wednesday! So grab a drink and join us! Cheers :))
