A Reimagined Approach to Design History that Engages the Ears, the Feet, and the Heart
Some Context
In today’s fast-paced world of visual research and endless inspiration boards, Titans of Type offers a slower, more human approach—inviting listeners to connect with the long tradition of design through the power of storytelling.

My Role
As the founder and creative director of Titans, I have developed every facet of this project, from research to production.
The Problem
Design history is often locked behind academic books, outdated websites, or dense timelines—formats that don't align with how modern designers learn or engage with content. As a result, many designers lack both the time and motivation to explore the legacy of their craft, and few see its relevance to their day-to-day work. Despite its value, design history remains severely underserved in the digital space.
The Opportunity
Titans of Type seizes the opportunity to reimagine design history as an engaging, narrative-driven experience—making it more discoverable, enjoyable, and relevant to today’s visually fluent audience.
