Gurus & Game Changers

About the Guest: Lisa Roberts
Have you ever considered the emotional resonance of the iPhone or the design elements of your vacuum cleaner? Prepare to have your perspective transformed as we converse with Lisa Roberts, a maestro of design and innovation. She’s not just any expert—Lisa is a design aficionado who has seamlessly integrated her love for aesthetics into every aspect of her life. From her cherished "Antiques of the Future" collection to her influential role as a philanthropist, she brings a unique blend of insight to the table. Our dialogue navigates through the nuances of "high design" and its profound impact on both our hearts and our everyday functionality, as Lisa unveils the secrets behind turning the mundane into the extraordinary that include the four books she has written - linked below.
As we shift the conversation to her art modality, cut-paper, we see surface designs she created and copyrighted that are now splashed across a myriad of products. The episode continues to unravel the threads of creativity that connect architecture, art, and the art of collecting. Lisa shares not just the transition from one medium to another, but also the exhilaration of hunting down collectible pieces that will stand the test of time. With items like the Whistling Bird T-Kettle by Michael Graves and the revolutionary Google Glass in her collection, Lisa opens up about the thrill of the chase and the criteria for what makes an object worthy of the title "Antiques of the Future." Through her stories and the virtual museum of her collection, we're invited to appreciate the humor and ingenuity embedded in the designs we interact with daily, leaving us with a widened lens on the role of innovation in shaping our world.
