My Life in Design series 9 wrapped

Series 9 of My Life in Design has officially wrapped - and what a series it’s been.

Across ten conversations with eleven designers, and three creative hubs - London, New York, and Brighton - the podcast once again opened the door to the stories behind the work. Hosted by our founder Claire Blyth, this series brought together an inspiring mix of voices from across the design industry, each sharing not just their achievements, but the journeys, challenges, and perspectives that have shaped them.

A huge thank you goes to our listeners for tuning in, and to the Design Business Association (DBA) for their continued support and collaboration. And, of course, to our exceptional guests - from established industry leaders to boundary-pushing creatives - who generously offered their time, insight, and advice for the next generation of designers.

With Series 9 complete, there’s plenty more to look forward to. Series 10 - which will also mark the podcast’s 100th episode - is set to arrive this autumn. Before then, keep an ear out for bonus content, including a special live recording from the Northern Design Festival.

In the meantime, all 93 episodes are ready and waiting — wherever you get your podcasts.
