Now, she returns to her first and true love in 'My Wardrobe Malfunction', a revealing podcast about our relationship with the items we wear. The ups, downs and a lot more besidesโ€ฆ This series began in January 2020 and continued over Zoom throughout lockdown, so please forgive any sound malfunctions.

  • Harnessing the power of lighting design with architecture.

    First Light explores the minds shaping the built environment.

  • Catt's Corner is a podcast for senior and staff designers who are figuring out what this role actually requires, and what comes next. In each episode, Catt Small sits down with a super-senior designer (or a person in their support network) and asks them to get real about what they're navigating: influence without authority, shipping big ideas, protecting their energy, making the business case for design, and adapting to a field that keeps shifting under all of us.

    The conversations build on Catt's book, The Staff Designer (published Rosenfeld Media), but go further. You'll get to catch up with practitioners on where they are now, what's changed, and how they're thinking about the role of hands-on IC design leadership in real time.
