yesterday I asked the same question (where to follow design discussions,
apart from IRC), and I was told to monitor https://live.gnome.org/Design
and children pages, which is enough to get a peak of what they are doing
indeed.

Also, while I'm not a designer, yesterday I wanted to propose some new
stuff, and it was easy to get the design team to find a solution for
proposals (https://live.gnome.org/Design/Proposals ), so from my (short)
experience they seem to be open to listen to new ideas.
