It’s the finale of Did I Do That? Season Five* and our third anniversary—this really must be the best of both worlds! Fellow Las Vegas ex-pat Ely Kim (Senior Creative at Wieden+Kennedy) joins Sean to talk about childhood limousine dreams, the weird science behind casino carpet, and memorable fast food mascots. Be sure to listen through to the very end—you won’t(?) regret it!

What comes next? Season 6 will start in late winter 2025, so stay tuned—as you might imagine, the show will be a little different on the other side of this one! To tide you over through our production break, we’ll be sharing a few bonus bits captured this summer. They’re a ton of fun and should hopefully keep you warm though those cold winter nights. Happy anniversary and thank you so much for listening!
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.
