This week we were incredibly privileged to have an amazing conversation with Hugh Weber. Hugh is laser focused on bringing people together and is a passionate advocate for design. Prepare yourself for one of our all time favorite guests.
Some amazing takeaways from today’s conversation with Hugh Weber!
- The easist pathway to create change is a simple introduction of two people.
- Design can really only exist in community
- You can design the life that you want.
- Lok for opportunities to make connections and create community
- Designers are “extraordinary bridge-builders”
- 46:01 – Design is everywhere but people don’t notice or care, much like a fish swimming in the water who isn’t aware of it (see link below for David Foster Wallace”

Hugh ended the episode with some amazing encouragement for Michelle and I on what we’re doing here on Design Speaks and I felt it was worthy of sharing:
“I listened to a number of episodes [of Design Speaks] before I came to Albuquerque… One of the things I think is worthy of celebration is that your willingness to leave this at a conversation level, to make it accessible, to leave it unpolished, is a magical stroke in both great design but also self restraint. I mean, I think that the tendency to wanna perfect things is an inherent designer trait, and I think that in this way, you’ve made design more accessible both by the partnership that the two of you have, but also the willingness to say, ‘this is an open conversation, and that we’re not sure where it’s gonna go’. But we know it has the directionality of better understanding designers, and designers better understanding the world around them; and that’s worthy of celebration. So thank you for continuing to have this conversation; I know it’s meaningful to the people that are listening in, and I can tell it’s meaningful to the two of you.”
THANK YOU HUGH!!!!
