5. Mike Monteiro

In this episode of The Iowa Idea Podcast, I sit down with Mike Monteiro, the co-founder of Mule Design. Mike has authored three books on design and speaks frequently about the craft of design and the importance of ethics. As Mike says, “designers are ultimately responsible for what they put fourth in the world.”

Mike has recently started Quarantine Book Club with Erika Hall.

Thanks to Mike for joining me on The Iowa Idea Podcast, and thank you for taking the time to listen.

I hope you enjoy the episode.
