I’m so glad to share this conversation with Gabriel Mays, founder and CEO of Just Add Content. Gabe previously served as a Captain in the Marine Corps for 8 years before leaving the Corps and becoming an entrepreneur. Quite the feat!

We talked about his inspiring road to success, including what tech entrepreneurs need to know to have a competitive advantage in the market. I have a feeling you’ll be hearing a lot more about Gabe and Just Add Content in the future!

Episode 73: Rafe Chisolm

This week, I talked with Rafe Chisolm, a generalist designer currently doing UX design at Delta Air Lines.

300-rafe-chisolm

It’s amazing how many times I’ve crossed paths with Rafe Chisolm! We went to the same college, worked at the same place…we even live in the same part of town! And of all places, we first met in Austin, Texas at SXSW Interactive.

Rafe calls himself a “generalist designer”, and his unconventional journey to becoming a designer is really inspiring. We talked about that journey, how he went on several interviews with the intent to fail, and how companies can help to bring in and promote more designers of color. Really good stuff!

Episode 72: Monet Spells

This week, I talked with Monet Spells -- a UX designer and a master's student at Georgia Tech studying human-computer interaction.

“One thing I want people to know is that there’s a space for you in tech.” That’s just one of many bon mots from my talk with UX designer Monet Spells.

I talked with her fresh off her first speaking gig at the Pro/Design Conference in New York City. We discussed her presentation, her studies at Georgia Tech, the importance of networking, wearables, world travel, and even tea!

Big thanks to Adekunle Oduye for the introduction!

Episode 71: Anselmo Pelembe

Anselmo Pelembe proves that there are no limitations when it comes to graphic design. Graphic designer, entrepreneur, potter, and more!

300-anselmo-pelembe

Anselmo Pelembe’s design style is from a myriad of influences — his colorful seaside hometown of Maputo in Mozambique, the tropical isle of Saint Helena, and a dash of jolly old England in Stamford.

We talked about his creative journey, the challenges of running his business, and his exhibit of pottery during London Design Festival in 2014. Who says design has limitations? Not Anselmo!

Episode 70: Kristy Tillman

I really had a blast talking with Kristy Tillman, the design director for the Society of Grownups.

300-kristy-tillman

I really had a blast talking with Kristy Tillman, the design director for the Society of Grownups. While she’s probably most well-known for The Detroit Water Project, Kristy has also been a designer at big agencies and companies like IDEO, Reebok, and PUMA.

We started off talking about the rigors of the hiring process when it comes to designers, civic design and what that means to her, and then went straight into dissecting diversity in the design industry (particularly as it relates to the workplace). It’s a little more candid than most interviews, but it’s 100% real talk. I just wish our conversation would have been longer! Maybe a Part 2 of this interview will come in the future…
