300-ebun-olaloye

“Live breathe futbol” might sounds like a simple soccer fan’s phrase, but graphic designer and creative director Ebun Olaloye has managed to turn this into a lucrative brand.

We talked about how he created the popular apparel brand, what his plans for the future are with Live Breathe Futbol, and delved into why creativity is a constant journey. Ebun is a great example of someone who not only inspires others, but shows that you can do what you want to do if you set your mind to it.

Episode 67: Ashley Nelson-Hornstein

I had the great pleasure to talk with Ashley Nelson-Hornstein, a Syracuse University graduate and an iOS developer for Dropbox.

I had the great pleasure to talk with Ashley Nelson-Hornstein, a Syracuse University graduate and an iOS developer for Dropbox. She may be fairly new to the company, but she has cut her teeth as an iOS dev at probably the best place anyone can learn it — Apple.

We talked about her journey from Apple to Circa to Dropbox, spoke a bit about her accessibility work she’s doing (and why it’s so important), and talked about her conference talks, such as her talk at Yandex in October 2014. Ashley definitely knows her stuff, and I think she’s one to watch out in Silicon Valley.

Episode 66: Xavier Ruffin

When I asked Xavier Ruffin what the best title was to describe what he does, he simply said "artist". Whether film or digital, Xavier is the man to watch.

300-xavier-ruffin

I first heard about Xavier Ruffin back in late 2013 during his fundraising campaign for Mad Black Men, a satirical web series inspired by Mad Men about the 1960’s ad industry from the eyes of three Black ad workers. We also featured Xavier on our “12 Designers to Follow on Behance” post last year. So imagine my surprise when Xavier contacted me and wanted to be on the show. How could I say no?

Xavier’s work is so much more than this one campaign though. We talked about his company, his title sequencing work for several popular artists like T.I., Childish Gambino, and Wiz Khalifa, and many more. Xavier also gave some great advice for people out there trying to increase their profile. Thanks again for the conversation, Xavier!

Joe Blau and his dedication to learning and staying at the top of his game is both inspiring and infectious. His work ranges from mobile apps to front end development to backend systems and security work. Oh, and there’s more!

We talked about the hot topic issue of diversity in Silicon Valley, why Silicon Valley is such an interesting place right now, and he gave some really awesome advice for software developers. Grab a pen and pad, because you’ll definitely want to take notes for this episode! Enjoy!
