Tangent: Recent Episodes
Tangent
A podcast about people and practice where we discuss art and design, making and process, education, and, of course, whatever tangents might come up along the way.
Jarrett Fuller is a designer, writer, educator, editor and podcaster. He is an assistant professor of graphic design at North Carolina State University; contributing editor at AIGA Eye On Design; director of twenty-six, a multidisciplinary design and editorial studio; and hosts the design podcast Scratching the Surface. He previously worked as a designer at Facebook, Warby Parker, and The Whitney Museum of American Art. He received his BFA in graphic design from Kutztown University and his MFA in graphic design and critical studies from Maryland Institute College of Art.
In this episode, we discuss what graphic design is today — if it even exists anymore. Jarrett talks about how being a designer shapes everything he does and that the connection between writing and design is not as far as we may think. He shares how his students make him optimistic about the future of the design industry. And why he intentionally makes things more difficult for himself.

Nicole Duet is Associate Professor of Drawing and Painting and Chair of Studio Art at Louisiana Tech University School of Design. She is an observation-based painter and illustrator working in a variety of media including oil painting, watercolor, and silverpoint. Her studio practice is grounded in her curiosity over the reliability of perception, and in her long-held belief that the greatest potential for discovery emerges through “noticing what we notice.”
We discuss how light, color, and time affect her work, how to see, the rewards and challenges of teaching, and painting as a dying medium.
