Educated Guess (EG) is a research and design organization concerned with humanity's relationship to machines, images, and cities. Conceived in 2018 as a "liberal arts school for everyday people", Educated Guess garnered attention initially through this public lecture series. Serving over 45,000 humans across 18 countries, the series (archived in 2022) covers topics of personal growth, design practice, and art history. These lectures have been consumed virtually and collectively–resulting in collaborations with Adidas, School, Research + Development, Soho House, A Ma Maniere, SVA, ADF, et al.

Dreams, Realities, and In-Betweens (ft. Andy Pressman) | Ep. 207

Andy Pressman is currently a resident of Portland, Oregon. And, according to his Instagram, he is very clearly NOT an Art Director. Yet, I think you might find it interesting that he is the former head/founder of the design studio Rumors. While running the studio, they had the joy of taking on clients like Sci-Arc, Microsoft, Clif Bar, and more. Andy is now a Creative Director at Upstatement and just so happens to run an incredibly insightful Twitter page.

Some of the topics covered in this episode include, but aren’t limited to:

The realities of starting, running, and closing a design practice
Finding a through-line from time as a Cooper Union Student to now
Selling to clients without doing work for spec
Reflecting on the dreams and realities of running a New York design studio
