About Clever
Clever (https://www.cleverpodcast.com/) is an award-winning, independent podcast that offers a window into the humanity behind the design of the world around us. In each episode, designer Amy Devers has candid and revealing conversations with the visionaries, culture-makers, and creative forces who shape our world and inform our society. Through a disarming mix of raw candor and honest shop-talk, Clever peels back the layers to unearth the gritty, authentic and sometimes surprising details of their creative paths. Clever Confidential (https://www.cleverpodcast.com/clever-confidential) is Clever’s offshoot series where we dig into the lesser told stories of the darker side of design; the shadowy, sometimes sordid, tales hiding under a glossy top coat of respectable legacy.

Published 8 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

It's a matter of knowing that you've put in enough work and practice so that you don't have to think when you're playing. And it's all muscle memory and reaction. And that's the way that I design the concept. That's usually where something gets either, whether it's green lit or it gets scrapped in my head. The strength of the concept and what is communicating. If I believe in something and what I'm trying to communicate with it, then I go through the process of creating it. And once I get over that threshold, then I see it all the way through. […]
