Miki Iwasaki is a designer, artist, and educator. In this discussion we cover the trajectory of his career from undergrad, grad school, to his time at SOM, and now owning and running his own office. He shares with us the challenges of operating a small practice while still being critical of his own work. We touch on the future of the profession, his approach to teaching the next generation of designers, and the heartbreak one encounters when a project gets axed.
