300-denise-nicole-francis

To cap off the month, I’m talking with full-stack designer Denise Nicole Francis. Her journey into the world of the Web by way of architecture and fashion design might sound a little odd, but she’s picked up some serious skills along the way, including studying under design great Massimo Vignelli!

We talked about the work she’s doing at General Assembly, discussed some of her design inspirations, and she shared how she ended up as creative director for a Grammy Award-winning artist! Denise’s positive attitude and sunny outlook on life is definitely an inspiration. Big thanks to Jarrett Coger for the introduction!

You’re in for a really great conversation this week. I talked with the venerable Husani Oakley — creative technologist, technical director…the titles go on and on. He’s worked with some of the biggest agencies in the world like Wieden + Kennedy, Euro RSCG, and EVB, and he’s also had his own firm called Oakley + Partners.

We talked about Husani’s start with entrepreneurship, his spark for coding and creating, and what’s coming up for him in the future. Husani is a kick-ass force in this industry, and if you don’t know his name by now…well now you know.

Enjoy!

Episode 25: David Yarde

This week's interview is with David Yarde, a web designer and developer, and co-founder of the creative strategy and branding firm Sevenality.

david-yarde-300

This week’s interview is with David Yarde, a web designer and developer, and co-founder of the creative strategy and branding firm Sevenality.

We talked a little bit about branding, discussed which brands are getting it right (and which aren’t!) and talked about how to succeed being an introverted person of color, and how that can be misconstrued.

David is a prime example of someone who has used design to change his life, and I think you’ll really be inspired by his story and his advice for young designers.
