My guests will include thought leaders who are driven by a passion to create the ‘new possible’ and promote new paradigms of experience into the mainstream. Designers from all disciplines. Architects who are changing the landscape of the built world. Techno-philes – visionaries who make deeply sensory-based but digitally-mediated experiences. And I’ll explore the transformative process of creativity with artists of all sorts.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-21T02:17:02.277882+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nxtlvl-experience-design-1288577"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 68 Leading By Design: A Passionate And Principled Career in Retail Placemaking with James Damian - Consultant - Gap International Brand Strategist, Design Thinking Practice Leader","slug":"ep-68-leading-by-design-a-passionate-and-principled-career-in-retail-placemaking-with-james-damian-consultant-gap-international-brand-strategist-design-thinking-practice-leader","published_at":"2024-05-10T18:12:11+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nxtlvl-experience-design-1288577/ep-68-leading-by-design-a-passionate-and-principled-career-in-retail-placemaking-with-james-damian-consultant-gap-international-brand-strategist-design-thinking-practice-leader","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nxtlvl-experience-design-1288577","url":"https://nxtlvl-ep-0-0-trailer.simplecast.com/episodes/ep-68-leading-by-design-a-passionate-and-principled-career-in-retail-placemaking-with-james-damian-consultant-gap-international-brand-strategist-design-thinking-practice-leader-lbZhnHYJ","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/43f40bef-dc16-40d9-bfd8-2f92fc2fda52/episodes/021a5869-2200-4b16-b843-594b6f18c89e/audio/36a9d2b1-9a78-4dc9-aee1-c892175f6cd5/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=t7xR8i18","summary":"James Damian had an early career in retail under the mentorship of the legendary Gene Moore of Tiffanys in New York, later becoming the Senior Vice President / Chief Design Officer of the Experience Design Group of Best Buy and the Chairman of the Board of Buffalo Wild Wings.
