Debbie Millman draws on her long-running podcast Design Matters to collect conversations with artists, designers, writers, musicians and other creative people. The book turns those interviews into short, illustrated profiles. Her guests talk about how they found their work, what they struggled with early on, and how they handled doubt, rejection and failure. Taken together, the conversations explore what it takes to build a creative life over many years.
