EXHIBIT 24
SUBSTITUTE POWER OF ATTORNEY

Under the terms of a Power of Attorney previously filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, (the "Original Power of Attorney")
the undersigned was appointed an attorney-in-fact for Joanna T. Lau
(the "Section 16 Reporting Person"), to:

(1) execute for and on behalf of the Section 16 Reporting Person, in
the Section 16 Reporting Person's capacity as an officer and/or director
of Designer Brands Inc. (the "Company"), a Form ID, Forms 3, 4, and 5
and any other documents necessary to facilitate the filing of reports
in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the rules thereunder;

(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the Section 16
Reporting Person which may be necessary or desirable to complete and
execute any such Form ID or Form 3, 4 or 5, complete and execute any
amendment or amendments thereto, and timely file such form with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange
or similar authority; and

(3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the Section
16 Reporting Person, it being understood that the documents executed by
such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Section 16 Reporting Person pursuant
to this Substitute Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve
in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

In accordance with the authority granted under the Original Power of
Attorney, including power of substitution, the undersigned hereby appoints
Lisa Yerrace and Katherine Alfano as substitute attorneys-in-fact, on behalf
of the Section 16 Reporting Person, with the power to act without any other
and with the full power of substitution to exercise and execute all of the
powers granted or conferred in the Original Power of Attorney. This
Substitute Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
Section 16 Reporting Person is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5
with respect to the holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the
Company, unless earlier revoked by the Section 16 Reporting Person in a
signed writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Substitute Power of
Attorney to be executed as of this 9th day of April, 2024.

   /s/  Robert J. Tannous
