I’m Claire Blyth, founder of design focussed PR agency Red Setter. I’ll be speaking to some of my favourite people in design to talk about how they got where they are today.

The interviewer keeps interjecting either ’yeah’, ‘yes’, ‘right’, ‘completely’, ‘definitely’, ‘fantastic’… it breaks the interviewee’s flow and makes it very hard to listen to
Claire is a wonderful host and has a natural ability to get the best out of her guests. A brilliant show with a true mission to demystify the creative industry, not just for younger generations but for those of us heading into our third decade of work. Thank you, Claire
Keep it up Claire.
This is such a great show - I love how it delves deep into people’s journey into design and allows the time to explore what makes this industry so special. It’s a must for everyone interested in design, but should also be prescribed for those interested in business and social change.
Really look forward to this each week. A diverse range of people working in the design industry with inspirational stories to tell and great advice - whether you’re starting out in design, following a career in it already or just have a passion for all things creative.
