Design Matters From the Archive: Louise Fili
This is the tenth anniversary of Design Matters, and to mark the anniversary we’re re-playing some of our favorite shows from the archive. This one, an interview with Louise Fili, was recorded in 2012.
Debbie talks to Louise Fili about designing book covers, designing for restaurants, about why she prefers working for small businesses, and about the importance of sketching. “When I get excited about a design that’s in the sketch phase, it’s like ‘Ah! This is it. Now I really have something.’ And that’s usually the one that will work.”
