We’re letting our freak flags fly! Product designer and “edgelord of sculpture” Ryan Swedenborg joins Sean to talk about her design mistakes… as well as New York’s hottest club, the future of art galleries, and where the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl ends.
You can find both Ryan’s design and art practice at her website, rswedenborg.com. You can also find her on the ‘gram at @rswedenborg. If you’re in Portland as this goes out, you can find Ryan’s work on view through December 1 in the former Compound Gallery space at NW 5th and Couch Street, conveniently located on the transit mall! Go see it—it’s a fun show!
Did I Do That? is a podcast about graphic designers—the ups and downs they face in creative practice, because making design means making lots (and lots) of mistakes.
Every other Thursday, host Sean Schumacher (Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State University) is joined by a designer guest to share stories about their own mistakes starting out and how they ended up where they did. It’s very weird, pretty silly, and definitely not serious—but neither are designers.
