Produced by Nancy Glass Productions, "My Design Life" follows Lisa and her team as they visit trade shows, museum exhibits and design stores gathering ideas and inspiration for Lisa's new book, DesignPOP: Popular Trends in Contemporary Product Design. The show will air in ten back-to-back half-hour episodes on Wednesday nights, with a "My Design Life" marathon recapping all ten episodes airing September 28 at 8:00 PM ET, and repeating on October 1 at 12:00 pm ET.

"The show is entertaining and educational. My interest in design is grounded in the idea that if we teach people about design and what makes it valuable, they will be more likely to purchase these objects, enhancing their own lives and creating more work for designers," says Roberts. "Lisa's knowledge of design is so extensive, and her wealth of knowledge so vast, yet her approach is accessible," says Sara Baxter of Nancy Glass Productions.
