025: The art of play with Mick Champayne

I’ve often found, that the best designers have a lightness about how they go about their craft. They regularly joke, don’t take themselves too seriously, and connect with others through humor. One minute they’re clowning, dropping memes and the next delivering a mind-blowing design perspective —and that’s definitely true of Mick. She’s a talented designer at Google working in the Doodles & Delight Team, a beloved Illustrator recently being named one of the Noun Project and Dribble’s top illustrators of 2024 and a sought-after global speaker, most recently taking the stage at awwwards.conf in NYC; all the while being a self-described class clown. Please enjoy my interview with friend of the pod, Mick Champayne.
