To make the most out of your listening experience, follow along with the episode’s Wingman post on our instagram: @artvirgins.

Two clueless friends. Zero knowledge of art. A wild idea: start collecting. But where do you even begin?

In this pilot episode, we introduce Art Virgins—our journey from being total beginners (who only knew that Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa) to learning how to enjoy art, understand movements, and eventually start our own collections.

We share why art often feels intimidating, what inspired us to launch the podcast, and how we plan to break down barriers one conversation (and one coffee) at a time.

Highlights:

Why art feels intimidating to beginners.
What inspired us to launch Art Virgins.
What you can expect in upcoming episodes.

What we promised in this episode:

A safe, fun space to ask the “stupid questions” about art.
Weekly episodes that mix humor, learning, and real beginner discoveries.

3e:T4b8,Welcome to another episode of Resourceful Designer. I'm your host, Mark, and today, I've got an interesting topic inspired by a friend's podcast. You know, it's funny how ideas for podcast episodes can come from the most unexpected places. Sometimes, I meticulously plan out a topic, but other times, like today, a random sentence can spark an idea. Today, we're discussing the importance of asking specific questions, especially in our design businesses. This concept hit home for me through my TV show podcasts like Under the Dome, Orphan Black, and The Expanse. When I started asking targeted questions to my listeners, feedback soared from a handful to dozens per episode. It was a game-changer! So, how does this relate to design? Well, asking clients broad questions like, "What do you think?" rarely yields useful feedback. Instead, be more precise—ask about colour choices, font styles, or layout. This approach makes it easier for clients to provide constructive feedback, helping you create designs that truly meet their goals. Stay tuned as I share insights and tips from my podcasting journey that you can apply to enhance client interactions and improve your design process. Let's get started!3f:T72c,
