Memberful Design is an evolving study of how firestarters spark lasting initiatives

The brand new monthly podcast

Momkai chomba dunnink podcast 01

We learn from experts in the field

Each month, we sit down to discuss building community. Past guests include entrepreneurs, curators, design thinkers, and visionaries from across the spectrum. You can listen anywhere you get your podcasts.

This show grew out of the award-winning Dutch design podcast Verwondering, which means ‘wonderment’. Over three seasons, Harald Dunnink explored meaningful design with creative leaders, from Hussein Suleiman's fashion movement Daily Paper to the world's leading garden designer Piet Oudolf

Verwondering, predecessor to Memberful Design, is a European Design Award winning podcast

2018 — 2022

The Memberful Design podcast is an evolution of Verwondering, the leading design podcast in the Netherlands. After three award-winning seasons, we gratefully realized that we could share more insights with the creative community if we worked in the English language.
