On today’s show, we are live at General Assembly with Lara McCormick, the creative director for the Exploratorium, San Francisco’s historic hands-on science museum. Lara’s path to becoming a design leader and teacher is anything but ordinary. On this episode, she shares the twists and turns of her journey with great humor and insight. Lara recounts the lessons she learned from her first steps into design with handmade flyers to earning an MFA from SVA and a degree in type from the esteemed Cooper Union later in life. She also discusses her experiences as art director for the New York Times, chairing the Design Department at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, and leading design at Creative Live. Listen in for Lara’s great advice for anyone looking to stay inspired, be honest with themselves about what’s most important, and do great work. Hosted on Acast.
