gabrielle-smith-300

I’ve known about Gabrielle Smith’s work since 2010 through her popular, award-winning website The:nublk, a platform that showcases the work of contemporary creatives and content with a focus on Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. (Sound familiar?)

We talked about what Gabrielle has learned since starting The:nublk, Black people we should look out for in the British creative scene, some of the coolest projects she’s worked with, and her advice for creatives who need a push. I’m really interested in seeing what Gabrielle’s next move will be!

300-vanessa-harris

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!

300-jeunanne-alkins

This week, we’re heading down to Trinidad and talking with Jeunanne Alkins, the creative powerhouse behind Everything Slight Pepper and ESPjr, a design studio specializing in Caribbean-themed content for children. From apparel to graphic design to animation, Jeunanne really does it all.

We talked about how Jeunanne got started in the field of design, the creative community in Trinidad, the notion of a Caribbean design aesthetic, and a lot more. I have a feeling you’ll be seeing and hearing more from Jeunanne in the future. Grab a doubles with “everything slight pepper” and enjoy!

300-tiffany-middleton

This interview with designer/photographer Tiffany Middleton was really fun. Tiffany is a pro when it comes to sports design, having done design work for the Auburn University Tigers as well as the Green Bay Packers. Currently, she’s a designer for Panini America, a premier distributor for sports trading cards.

We talked about where her love for sports design came from, the design program at her alma mater, as well as her dream design project. Tiffany Middleton is definitely a star on the rise!

300-tamika-d-williams

School might be out for the summer, but learning never stops when Tamika D. Williams is around. She’s a photographer and a working designer, and is an associate design professor at Alabama A&M University who is responsible for coordinating the graphic design program for the school’s visual art department.

A large chunk of our conversation is about design education at HBCUs, but we also touched on diversity in design academia and talked about what students need to do to succeed as professional designers. Tamika’s enthusiasm and dedication to the craft of design is really inspiring, and I’m thrilled to share this conversation with you all. Enjoy!
