Debbie Millman's Design Matters Wins People's Design Award

The design world’s favorite podcast takes its place alongside the likes of a bracelet that spells out the alphabet in Braille, Trek’s Lime Bike, and Toms Shoes as the winner of the 2011 People’s Design Award. Design Matters, hosted by the indefatigable Debbie Millman on Design Observer, bested hundreds of other nominees—from the Ford Model T and Jeanne Gang’s Aqua Tower to an all-glass mobile phone and cutlery for babies—to earn the title, which was announced by the unlikely duo of White House Social Secretary Jeremy Bernard and Pharrell at last week’s National Design Awards gala.
