There’s few designers out there that can match Laci Jordan’s unique mix of talent, energy, and hustle. This Los Angeles-based creative director and multidisciplinary designer is killing the game with her work, and I’m honored to get a chance to share this conversation with you all.

We started off looking at the design scene in LA, talked about design awards, her time growing up in Alabama, and how a short stint with the FBI fueled her passion for design. I truly feel like Laci is at a point where her career is about to skyrocket, and I’m so excited to talk with her. Enjoy!

300-senongo-akpem

Senongo Akpem is a brilliant art director and illustrator currently in New York City. What I love about Senongo’s work is how he mixes futurism along with his Nigerian culture to create really fantastically creative projects.

We started off by discussing two of his most well-known projects — Pixel Fable and Holo Halo. From there, Senongo walked me through his early career, explained how his time in Japan helped shaped him as a designer, and gave some really sharp critiques on the current design community. Senongo is one of the very first designers I reached out to back in Revision Path’s early days, so our interview today feels like a real full circle moment. I think you’ll really get a lot out of this episode. Enjoy!

sanford-greene-300

Comic book fans, you’re in for a treat this week! I’m talking with Sanford Greene, illustrator for Marvel Comics and half of the team behind the new Power Man and Iron Fist. Sanford’s style is unmistakeable, and his work has also graced other Marvel titles like Deadpool and Spider-Man.

We talked about how he got his start with Marvel, his feelings on the new Luke Cage series on Netflix (and his rising popularity), as well as his own title Rotten Apple on Dark Horse Comics. Sanford’s motto of creating from life is one I think we can all get behind!

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-arielle-wilkins

I had such a delightful conversation with this week’s guest — Brooklyn-based graphic designer and artist Arielle Wilkins.

We spoke about growing up in a creative family, her time at SVA, and the difference in working with a big agency versus a smaller agency. Arielle also talked about her latest project Brothas and Sistas, and how she gained the confidence to keep at it and turn it into something successful! Watch out for Arielle — I have a feeling you’ll be seeing her work in stores soon!
