In October 2011, Design Matters was the recipient of a National Design Award from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Debbie Millman notes, “Design Matters began in February of 2005 with an idea and a telephone line. I thought it would be a great way to ask my heroes everything I wanted to know about their lives and their thoughts and their careers without seeming stalker-y. In the process, I gleaned the most magnificent view of some of the greatest design thinkers and practitioners of our time. I realized the opportunity to share the brilliance of my guests with an audience I never expected was the gift of a lifetime."
The shows take place in a recording studio at the
Masters in Branding Program at the School of Visual Arts.
