025: The art of play with Mick Champayne

A76 | a design pod ·

2025/02/21

I’ve often found, that the best designers have a lightness about how they go about their craft. They regularly joke, don’t take themselves too seriously, and connect with others through humor. One minute they’re clowning, dropping memes and the next delivering a mind-blowing design perspective —and that’s definitely true of Mick. She’s a talented designer at Google working in the Doodles & Delight Team, a beloved Illustrator recently being named one of the Noun Project and Dribble’s top i...

In this A76 episode, I talk with Matt Saip the SVP Technology Lead at Digitas' Chicago office.
