"your life needs to be balanced between home and space."

Debbie Millman is the president of the AIGA. Her podcast show is called "Design Matters" and has been around since 2005. I listened to her interview with Natalia Ilyin. Natalia Ilyin is a design critic, teacher, author, and practitioner. She takes a personal look at the philosophy of modernism and its effects on our culture, most defiantly some icons of our culture.

"I have no interest in looking bizarre, because I'm bizarre in the inside."
"

Refugeeism and place are very important to her. She thinks it fits into her perfectionism. "If you don't know where you're from, you don't know who you are." —Stigner. Ilyin thinks that's very important, not just for every people, but also for designers. I like that Ilyin connects design with concepts of life and the lessons of life that should be learned—such as the importance of home or the realization of self.
