492: Doug Peltzman on nourishing the kernel of a new idea

Today on the show I welcome back Doug Peltzman. A few years ago he made a major shift in his studio practice, essentializing his approach to surface design to create a new aesthetic. In our interview we talk about nourishing the kernel of an idea, and re-engaging his customers after a major shift in the studio. To see examples of his work visit www.dougpeltzman.com.
