Design Triscuit

Zachary Winterton

Creative Director and Design TikToker Zachary Winterton joins Sean to talk about the people in your (Geocities) neighborhood, bad leadership advice from cheerleaders, and Charlie the Cactus: the supermarket mascot of our dreams?

Zachary is probably best found these days on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube where you can find his latest short form design-centric videos. You can sign up for The Creative Brief, Zachary’s weekly newsletter, on his website at zacharywinterton.com/newsletter. That same website, zacharywinterton.com, is where you can see some of his past work.

This episode was recorded Sunday, November 12, 2023.

Want the latest about Did I Do That?, Fontroversy, and more delivered straight to your inbox, including news about new episodes, information about upcoming projects, and critiques of random elements of design in our everyday life? Join Making Mistakes, the show's newsletter, and you'll get two-ish emails a month that contain at least some percentage of each of those things. Who could say no, other than someone who doesn't want that?

Every other Thursday, host Sean Schumacher (Ass’t Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State University) is joined by a guest from the world of design with a special story about their own mistakes starting out and how they ended up where they did. It’s very weird, pretty silly, and definitely not serious—but neither are designers.‍

Did I Do That? is a podcast about graphic designers—the ups and downs they face in creative practice, because making design means making lots (and lots) mistakes.
