Lindsey sits down with architect and educator Scott Singeisen to explore awe's relationship to design and the spaces we inhabit.

Lindsey sits down with visual designer and educator Marjan Khatibi to discuss designing with immersive technologies — and the tension they create of occupying two realities at once. Awe, they find, isn't always light; it can carry grief, displacement, and a felt sense of someone else's reality, and it's often that weight that makes immersive experiences powerful vehicles for empathy. The conversation moves through the opportunities and limits of immersive tech and what it looks like to teach design keeping genuine human impact in mind. Hosted on Acast.

In season two of In a Glimpse, host Lindsey Peterson dives into the space where awe, design, and technology collide. Building on season one's exploration of why awe matters and how it shapes empathy in design, this season turns to bigger questions: What influences our creative process? What's our capacity for awe in an age of constant digital noise? And what role does technology actually play in expanding — or eroding — it? Across conversations with ten creative practitioners, season two examines how digital tools both elevate and complicate the design process, and what all of it means for how we create, connect, and find meaning in our work.
