Episode Description

New Angle: Voice is back! We kick off Season Two with Ray Kaiser Eames. Many know Ray Eames as the small, dirndled woman behind her more famous husband. In this episode, we uncover the talented artist who saw the world full of color, the industrial designer bending plywood in the spare bedroom, and the visionary who treated folk art, cigarette wrappers, flowers, and toys as equally valuable and inspiring. Ray brought the sparkle to the legendary Eames Office, as you'll discover in this episode "Beauty in the Everyday: The Life and Work of Ray Eames."

So here we go.This will evolve into interviews with the people involved, and glimpses behind the scenes of it all. In the past, this part of the journey has been kept under wraps, but after years of being asked for advice and upon being offered a platform to speak, this seemed like the one thing I am actually 'qualified'
