Design Different
For independent thinkers in design and business.
Design Different is a podcast for experienced designers ready to build something of their own, and for founders who understand that design isn’t just decoration: it’s how your business works.
With decades of global experience across agencies, corporates, and independent studios, Jake Burdess breaks down what makes creative work not just look good, but actually work.
Expect thoughtful takes on systems, strategy, and the realities of modern design - all without the hype. Whether you’re building your own practice or your own company, this show will help you think more clearly and design more deliberately.
Clarity. Systems. Design that works.

DD0020 - A Chat with Matt Turnbull from Vocal
In this episode of Design Different, I talk with Matt Turnbull. A thoughtful product designer and former freelance colleague, Matt and I chat about about navigating change in the creative world. We explore the shifting landscape of design careers, the impact of AI on creative practice, and how to stay intentional about the work we say yes to. From Matt’s move into remote work and leadership to his reflections on curiosity, motivation, and human connection, it’s a grounded and honest look at how design (and designers) are evolving.
