Eight films of designers talking about their creative processes are sure to inspire.

1 MIN READ

For industrial designer Yves Béhar, design is like surfing: “There’s split second decisions, and things are going to be different every single time.” But for design-consultancy head Gianfranco Zaccai, design is like great food: “When you first see it, it should be really appetizing.” Every designer sees things differently, and in looking through others’ eyes, all may find inspiration. On Herman Miller’s Why Design website, see films of designers talking about how they navigate the creative process—and why it is they do what they do. You may find yourself inspired by your career all over again. • hermanmiller.com
