We're taking a few weeks off before the start of season 3 and revisiting some past favorites while we do! Illustrator, designer, educator, and all around cool person Nishat Akhtar (VP of Creative at Instrument) joined Sean in spring 2022 to talk Charles Barkley’s shrimp mistakes, ranking the Four Seasons, and young Sean’s excitement at the possibility of standing on a JPEG. Why not listen? It’s there if you want it!
You can find Nishat’s work at nishataktar.com, @nishat on Instagram (where you can also see Mr. Charles Barkley himself), or on Twitter @nishatsays.

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 (Ass’t Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State University) is joined by a designer guest with a story 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.
