Voices of Experience

Voices of Experience is a film and editorial series celebrating the SEGD Fellows—laureates of experiential design whose work has transformed how we navigate, connect, and belong in the world.

These designers are known not just for what they’ve created, but for how they’ve led: mentoring generations, shaping public space, and advancing design as a force for equity, clarity, and human-centered change.

Each short film offers a personal look into their philosophies, methods, and lasting impact on the built environment—and the people who move through it.

The Fellow is the highest honor SEGD bestows, recognizing excellence in design, mentorship, and long-term impact. Voices of Experience brings this legacy to life—creating a living archive of insight and inspiration for future generations.

In a time when designers are asked to solve urgent global challenges—from climate to housing—these voices remind us that great design isn’t just about what we see—it’s about how we live.

Because in wayward times,
we need guides.
We need mentors.
We need voices of experience.

Each film in the series was filmed and produced by Lorem Ipsum, and lovingly directed and edited by Abigail Honor. The series is introduced by award-winning design journalist Anne Quito, who offers essential context on the legacy and impact of SEGD Fellows.

New episodes premiere every two weeks throughout the year, accompanied by editorial features, behind-the-scenes reflections, and opportunities to engage with the SEGD community.

Join us in celebrating the designers who have made the invisible visible—and who continue to inspire a more human-centered future.
