Call in the pygmy goats and have Gunther pour you a hot cup of cereal, because a little indie show called Did I Do That? has hit the midpoint of season 6! Merchandise Designer and Design YouTube powerhouse Kel Lauren joins Sean to talk about anniversary cereals, the intersection of goth and twee, and what a rock star does with three grand.
You can find Kel all over the internet, from their website to their YouTube channel to their Instagram. As mentioned above, Kel and fellow design content creator Elliot Ulm create their own hilarious and joyful design show called kelliot!—if you want to watch them work, you can find their collaborative channel on YouTube, but you can also find them across the podcast player spectrum, including the big names like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Anyone who is a fan of this deeply non-serious design podcast is definitely going to enjoy theirs, so go give them a listen! Too, if you really like kelliot! and want even more, you can hear their Unmedikelliot! bonus show through the kelliot! Patreon.
This episode was recorded March 14, 2025 in the Rat’s Nest.
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.
