Designed By will introduce you to the awesome creatives, events, and organizations right under your nose. We'll talk to people who are actively working to make our community a better place through the power of design, and how they got to where they are. Whether it's for the environment, for our neighborhoods, for our schools, for our designers, and more, we'll learn more about the people and things that make Saint Louis unique.

If you're an OG fan, you'll remember one of our first interviews was with Samantha Smugala, talking about Creative Mornings. Since that release, we've stayed friends with Sam and have worked with her professionally so many times -- from Loutopia to Design Week, she's been involved in everything.
Fast forward 4 years and she's now the Executive Director of the East Loop Community Improvement District and the founder of Pocket Parks. We hung out (with our podcast equipment) at one of our favorite spots to reminisce and talk about journeys and destinations.
