EP32: Chris Doyle On What A Conversation About Design Looks Like

In this episode, we spoke with Chris Doyle, Creative Director and Founder of Christopher Doyle & Co. One of our most listened to shows from last year was the second episode with Christopher Doyle, and as it’s been nearly a year to the day we thought we’d have him back to fill us in on what he’s been up to. When we first started the podcast the plan was to have a few key people appear more than once so we could see how successful they had become after appearing on the show. That was a joke. Chris has been busy moving studios, employing new staff and hosting the AGDA Awards with his good friend Ian Haigh. We delve into all of this and explore the purpose of awards in an industry where it is just as important to have a following on Instagram as it is to win an award. We also look at the pitfalls of the hiring process and how it’s affected by social media. Chris is also appearing at Semi-Permanent Sydney this year off the back of a successful appearance in New Zealand where he got to hang out with Jessica Walsh and Michael Bierut, two people he hugely admires, so we spend a little time talking about them and how their work has influenced us. twitter.com/cd_and_co christopherdoyle.co
