I met Vanessa French-Harris when I spoke in Raleigh earlier this month at the Hopscotch Design Festival. We spoke a bit before and after my talk, and I knew she would be fantastic to have on the show. Currently, Vanessa is the graphic design manager at Meredith College, and she has decades of experience in this industry.

We talked about her time at Parsons in NYC and her work in the NYC design scene, her illustration work, and her priceless advice for designers in the field right now. I’m so glad I had the chance to connect with Vanessa, and I think you’ll get a lot of gems out of this interview. Enjoy!

This week, I talked with Brooklyn-based designer and entrepreneur Tracey Coleman. We spoke on diversity, design, travel, and a lot more!

“Anything is possible. It’s never too late to change your story because my story keeps changing.” When Tracey Coleman told me that before we started recording, I had an idea this would be an amazing conversation.

We talked about her unconventional path into design from the world of biology, how it’s like working in the agency world, the advice that has really stuck with her the longest, and her latest globetrotting adventure. Tracey really has a lot of inspiring things to say, and you can really tell she lives her life and doesn’t let life live through her! Enjoy!

And that’s where I Roy Milton 2! Roy’s an art director for the Austin-based firm and has helped shape the look and feel for campaigns for clients like AT&T and Bee Sweet Lemonade.

We spoke about art direction — what it is and why it’s important — and also talked about pursuing industry awards, the benefits of diversity in advertising and design, and how his dad was one of his biggest artistic influences. Roy also does a lot in the local Austin creative scene, so I’m really glad to have him on to represent. Thanks Roy!
