Like several guests I’ve had on the show, I knew of Brandon Breaux’s work before I even knew who he was! He may be known best as the artist behind the mixtape covers for Chance the Rapper, but Brandon’s art spans much further than that. And no matter how far his art takes him, he always represents for Chicago.

Actually, Chicago is where our conversation began! We talked about the local design scene and how he feels being a part of it as his profile has grown, and from there Brandon told me about his creative journey through a few schools before settling into the projects he does now. He also shared some of his artistic influences, and gave some insight on his creative strategy and why mental health awareness is such a huge factor in his work. There’s no telling where Brandon’s work will take him next, so keep an eye out for him!

If there’s anything I learned from talking with Thomas Dang, it’s that he really puts a lot of effort into not just making sure his work is seen, but that it’s felt as well. That can be a difficult thing for a graphic designer to do, but Thomas’ unique mix of skills gives him a perspective many others don’t have.

Thomas is currently pursuing his MBA while freelancing, so we talked about how what he’s studying factors into his life as a designer. From there, Thomas shared the early days of his career, gave his thoughts on the Cleveland design community, and he talked about his dream project of reaching out and teaching design to his local community. I appreciate Thomas for being so candid and open about his life, and thanks to Alex Binder for the introduction!

There’s been some debate in the community recently about whether UX is considered a design discipline, so we’ve been talking to UX designers in lots of different fields to get a better look at just why UX is so important. And thanks to Alex Binder, that’s how I met Tony Turner, a UX designer in Cleveland, Ohio.

Tony started off with talking about how he first learned about UX, and how he’s used his skills in both the insurance and technology industries. We also delve a bit into the topic of wearables for medical use, and he gives some great advice on how designers can challenge themselves by solving problems in fields outside of just visual design. You might look at UX a bit differently after this episode!
