Design Methodology Series - Art & Photography - Interview with Steve Rost

🎙 New Episode Out Now – Where Do We Go From Here? with Scott Catallo

In this episode, I sit down with designer, artist, and educator Steven Rost for a deeply reflective conversation on design thinking, intuition, and the creative process, together we discuss topics such as:

🛠 What is “good design”?

🎨 How do we learn through making?

🤖 Where does AI fit in a world shaped by human experience?

Steven brings a unique voice shaped by decades of design teaching. From crafting sculpture to reflecting on the role of mentorship, he reminds us that discovery, memory, and experience remain at the heart of design—no matter the tools.

Some important take-a-ways from this episode

💡 Each design challenge often requires a different path or approach each time

💡 Life experiences are paramount for design creativity
