		<description>Q4D: Questions for Designers is a short-form podcast exploring how designers think, work, and make decisions across disciplines and career stages. Each episode uses a shared set of core questions to create a common framework, then expands into personal spotlight conversations shaped by each guest’s experience. 

Rather than portfolio talk, Q4D focuses on values, process, leadership, growth, and the realities of design practice. For students, professionals, and anyone curious about how design really works. Join the conversation, and keep asking questions.</description>
