Episode 207: Angelica McKinley

This week, we're talking with Angelica McKinley, a senior communications designer at Slack.

We’ve had several folks from Slack here on Revision Path, and the latest one is digital designer Angelica McKinley! She has a wealth of experience in digital storytelling from working at The New York Times, and she’s now making the switch from print to tech.

We talked about her work at The New York Times, which went into a discussion on how Black creatives use tech as well as on the importance of HBCU pipelines. Angelica also shared what has her excited at the moment, and what she plans to accomplish for the rest of this year. 2017 has been a big year for Angelica, and I’m glad that she’s one of hundreds of talented Black creatives out in the Bay Area!

Episode 206: Kim Goulbourne

Kim Goulbourne is a Webby award-winning chronic creator in NYC.

It’s easy to see why Kim Goulbourne calls herself a “chronic creator”. Whether she’s helping first-time renters in NYC or helping others experience more of their city, this Webby award-winning maker is full of ideas with a focus on creating purpose-driven experiences with design and code.

Kim talked me through her thought process for new projects, and she shared some information about her latest venture. Her and I also spent some time talking shop about entrepreneurship, finding leads, her dream project, and some of her inspirations. Kim is definitely someone you’ll want to watch, so make sure you follow her and see what gets “Bourn” next!

Episode 205: Duane Jones

This week, we're talking to Duane Jones, a designer in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Duane Jones really breaks boundaries when it comes to design. While his main work is with information management, his passion for self-expression comes alive through his brand Art Pays Me. Duane is definitely one of the names you need to know in the Halifax design scene!

We started off talking about how Duane’s frustration with the design industry took him in an unexpected direction with his career, and he breaks down the differences between art and design, his philosophies on both subjects, and what motivates him today as a creator. Once you know your worth and are intentional about your goals, nothing can stop you — and Duane is proof of that!

Episode 204: Hans Dorsinville

Hans Dorsinville is partner, executive vice president and senior group creative director at Laird + Partners in New York City.

Hans Dorsinville came across my radar when I saw AdWeek’s Creative 100 for 2017. If his name doesn’t sound familiar to you, then you’ve definitely seen his work. I’m talking Donna Karan, Lane Bryant…even Beyoncรฉ. His creativity has been instrumental in some of the world’s top luxury brands in fashion and beauty.

Of course, we had to start off talking about his magnificent body of work! Hans talked about the business side of design and shared how he first got his start as a junior designer fresh out of Parsons School of Design. We also looked back at the booming creative and fashion scene in the 90s, and he shared what he’s learned over the years about making a name for yourself, along with some great advice for designers who want to follow in his footsteps. Hans is all about showing the possibilities available in life, and Iโ€™m so glad to have such a talented visionary here on Revision Path. Enjoy!

Episode 203: Catt Small

This week, we're bringing back one of our most requested guests -- Catt Small.

Catt Small has been one of our most requested guests over the past few years, so we’re starting off August by bringing her back on the show!

Our conversation began with her talking about her day to day work as a product designer at Etsy, and then she spoke about her projects: Good for PoC and the 2017 Game Devs of Color Expo through her game development company Brooklyn Gamery. Catt and I also discussed the state of the gaming community for people of color, the importance of funding (including the pitfalls of crowdfunding), and we chatted about her public speaking and what she wants to accomplish for the remainder of 2017. It’s amazing to see how far Catt has come, and I bet we’re going to see a lot more from her in the future!
