Ep. 230: SVA’s Molly Heintz on Why Design Writing Matters

Description
<p>Molly Heintz grew up fascinated with Greek mythology, and eventually, fashion – drawn to enthralling storytelling and visual aesthetics. She carried this interest in Greek mythology over to studying archeology but when she became burned out in academia, she transitioned to work as a fashion editor, setting her on an entirely new careerpath. From there, she worked in marketing and communications, eventually co-founding Superscript and teaching at SVA, chairing the Masters of Arts in Design Research, Writing & Criticism program. Together with Steven Heller, she’s co-edited <em>The Education of a Design Writer</em> to showcase exemplary design writing and share practical advice for writers. Molly makes a compelling case for why design writing is essential for the design process, and for understanding the world around us. </p><br><p><a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/blog/molly-heintz-the-education-of-a-design-writer-sva-d-crit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Images and more from Molly Heintz</a> on cleverpodcast.com!</p><br><p><strong>Special thanks to our sponsor! </strong><a href="https://www.wix.com/studio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wix Studio</a> is a platform built for all web creators to design, develop, and manage exceptional web projects at scale.</p><br><p>Clever is hosted & produced by<a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Amy Devers</a>, with editing by<a href="https://www.markzurawinskimusic.com/audio-work.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Mark Zurawinski,</a> production assistance from Ilana Nevins and Anouchka Stephan, and music by<a href="https://www.elteneleven.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> El Ten Eleven</a>.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SUBSCRIBE</a> - listen to Clever on any podcast app!</p><p><a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SIGN UP</a> - for our Substack for news, bonus content, new episode alerts</p><p><a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VISIT</a> - cleverpodcast.com for transcripts, images, and<a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/all-pisodes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> 200+ more episodes</a></p><p>SAY HI! - on<a href="https://bit.ly/4jEzIz3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> &<a href="https://bit.ly/4kVhniZ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> LinkedIn</a> @cleverpodcast @amydevers</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Special thanks to our sponsors!</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.wix.com/studio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Wix Studio</strong></a> is a platform built for all web creators to design, develop, and manage exceptional web projects at scale.</li><li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/trade-resources/kitchen-design-contest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove's Kitchen Design Contest</strong></a> is a global design competition celebrating outstanding kitchen design projects.
