Better: The Brand Designer Podcast, founded by Giselle Field of Wander Design Co. and Jen Davis, was founded on the belief that designers need community. We find that the branding world often feels secretive, competitive, and sometimes just plain old confusing. When we realized that our honest, soul-chat-level convos could potentially help other designers, we realized a podcast was only natural! Better: The Brand Designer Podcast was officially born.Giselle passed away during a climbing trip in Peru in summer of 2020. We encourage all listeners of our podcast to listen to our two Celebrating Giselle episodes. Giselle's adventurous, kind, funny, and supportive presence is missed every day—each and every episode that we record is dedicated to her legacy and her vision for this podcast. It is our honor to continue recording episodes in Giselle's memory and we know that she is with us every time we sit down to record.In winter of 2022, we welcomed Esther Knox-Dekoning from Sereth Design as a new co-host. Esther brought an incredible and fresh perspective to the pod—her transition from agency to design studio as well as her love for web design, sustainability, and world change brought new guests, ideas, and amazing episodes to our listeners. She departed the pod in spring 2023 to dedicate more time to her studio's growth, and will be greatly missed!Now, Jen runs the podcast solo and is beyond excited to continue interviewing guests, having interesting conversations, and sharing the behind-the-scenes of running her design studio.

Absolute Best!
I love this podcast so much. Jen and Esther are honest, refreshing, uplifting, and inspiring. I look forward to this podcast every week. It’s like listening to design besties every week. They remind me of my why. My why wanting to be a brand designer and not to give up on my dream goals for my business. ✨
I want to like this show
I really do want to like this show, but every time I try to listen I have to skip the first 15-25 minutes of the show before they actually get to their topic.
Theeee best!
This is the best podcast for all things brand design. Most of us are running our businesses but with Better, I feel like I’m running a business alongside other designers—and more importantly, friends!
Packed full of knowledge, experience and vulnerability… it’s a great podcast for you wherever you are in your design business!
