WiseNoise: The Creative Practice Podcast

Welcome to WiseNoise, a podcast where I sit down with the creatives, designers, and makers who inspire me and go behind the scenes of their best work.

I’m fascinated by the stories, the struggles, and the "why" behind great design, so I created this space to get to know the people behind the portfolios. It’s less about the jargon and more about the human side of creativity.

  • WN07: Freya Macleod on Island Roots & The Generalist Superpower
    2026/03/20

    From the art clubs of Stornoway to curating the history of Shinty in Inverness, Freya Macleod’s journey is a masterclass in "designing for place." In this episode, Pearse catches up with his former LOOM colleague to talk about her fabulous Museum of Here project, the surreal experience of building models in her dad's garage during lockdown, and why she’s embracing the "Generalist" tag in a world that wants everyone to specialise.

    We dive deep into:

    • The Power of Local: Why An Lanntair was vital for a creative kid growing up in Lewis.
    • Museums 2.0: How a 150-meter rope factory in Dundee became a blueprint for community storytelling.
    • The Shinty Story: Navigating the complex beast of exhibition design for Scotland’s community sport.
    • Digital Burnout: Why screen printing and Lino cutting are the ultimate therapy for screen-weary designers.
    • The Bingo Wheel: We talk Reef Beach, the genius of Annie Atkins, and why the film I Swear is a must-watch.

    Whether you're an islander, a designer, or just someone who loves a good story, this one is for you.

  • WN06: Chris Sanders on Process over Portfolio
    2026/03/13

    What happens when your successful design agency collapses in "20 minutes"? For Chris Sanders, it was the start of something much bigger.

    I'm delighted to talk to the founder of Right Aligned about the messy reality of a career in design. Chris shares his journey from a 1999 print room to building a global educational platform that prioritises "the process" over the polished final result.

    We discuss:

    • The Agency Rollercoaster: How Chris survived three agency start-ups and what he learned from the failures.
    • Accessibility in Design: Why he’s fighting to keep design education affordable for the 99%.
    • The Pylon Culture: Moving past the toxicity of online design critiques to find the real rationale behind the work.
    • Burnout & The Provider Trap: A raw look at mental health, the pressure to "be the breadwinner," and how to switch off (without a device).

    Whether you’re a junior designer just starting out or a creative director feeling the weight of the industry, Chris’s story is a reminder that you don’t have to "set yourself on fire to keep others warm."

  • WN05: Fraser Robertson, aka Lost Astronaut, on freelance design and illustration life
    2026/03/05

    In this episode, Pearse sits down with Fraser Robertson—the illustrator and designer behind the moniker Lost Astronaut. They dive into the "deep lore" of Fraser’s career, from his foundation days in Dundee to the serendipity of pitching a brewery that happened to have a beer called Lost in Sauce.

    We get into the gritty details of:

    • The Market Stall Hustle: The vulnerability (and exhaustion) of selling your soul—and your art—in person.
    • Serendipity in Design: How Fraser’s "Lost Astronaut" brand led to a fated collaboration with Closet Brewing.
    • The AI Elephant: Why Fraser thinks generative AI is "peak capitalism" and why the "imperfect" human touch is more valuable than ever.
    • Tactile Love: Comparing the future of design to the survival of vinyl records—why humans crave the tangible.

    The Bingo Wheel of Wisdom reveals:

    • Fraser’s secret (and misspelled) "K-W-R-A-O-K-E" list.
    • The legendary recipe for his "showstopper" vegan Mac & Cheese (it involves butternut squash, not feet-tasting fake cheese).
    • Why Treasure Planet is the greatest animated movie ever made.
