She's a bad ass illustrator and letterer who has worked with lots of amazing brands, has made 7 books, teaches workshops, sells products, etc...she's totally goals! Besides how amazing her work is, she is so down to earth and fun to talk to. We talk about her life in Portland, cheese, how she met her wife, business, and so much more. Give it a listen!

This week you are stuck with just your hosts and producer Chris! We give you the scoop on our webinar coming up this week and why designers need to be talking about pricing more. We talk about dating, sports, pop sockets, our new tv show, and answer some questions that you guys wrote in!! Thanks for listening!

Our guest this week had us cracking up! It's Kiwi aka the founder of the amazing line of hilarious cards and goods, Craft Boner! We had the pleasure of meeting her last month in Denver when we hosted a workshop in her space, Yes Please! This episode is a spooky one!

This week we got to interview our good friend Zach Horst for a second time!! We interviewed him about a year ago when we didn't know him and since we've hung out with him IRL a couple times. Zach is unbelievably talented, he knows everything, and he's the sweetest person ever. We get into his 36 days of type project (it's fucking amazing check it out), his new job, his lettering crushes, life in Austin, etc. We love him, give it a listen!

This guest is from the future...it's our buddy Kiel Tillman from Australia! He's a super talented muralist so we had lots to talk about!

We are absolutely honored to have the legendary Debbie Millman on this weeks episode! She is the OG of design podcasts with her amazing, 13 year running podcast Design Matters. She's been an idol of ours for a long time so it was absolutely terrifying to talk to her! But she is such a sweetheart! We talk about her past and how she got into design, the early days of her podcast, and all our usual questions. Thank you to Scout Books for sponsoring this episode!

This episode is special because we got to interview this guest in person at our office in San Diego! The guest...our friend Ashley Strauss who is a designer in the sports world! She is currently a designer for the San Diego MLB team, the Padres, but she's also worked in football. You know us, we LOVE sports, so it was a hoot getting to chat with her!

She used to live in Chicago, but now she lives in New York and is working her dream job by day, and lettering and illustrating her heart out by night. She's extremely versatile in her style...there's nothing she's not good at! We chatted trash tv, cheese, cats, hair, and other things! Check it out!!

This week we have Lenny Terenzi of Hey Monkey Design on the pod! He is an absolute gem of a human! We had the pleasure of seeing him speak at 2018 Crop Conference in Baton Rogue and he definitely inspired the fuck out of us. We get into dating, dad life, business shit, drunk things, etc. He's the greatest!

We got to chat with not one, but TWO amazing designers this week! Hatchmark Studio (aka Veronique Zayas) and Somi Choi joined us for a few drinks over Skype from Pensacola, Florida. They often collaborate so it was super fun to talk to another duo! They've got a lot of great stuff going on down south and they certainly crack us up.

This week we interview the tallest person that has ever been on this podcast...JASON CRAIG!! He's an amazing illustrator, public speaker, and all around human being!

He has a lot of great info to share about working for yourself and doing your thang! Check it out!

If you don't know Enon's work, you're missing out! This dude is a master of all things tiny and meticulous and we are constantly blown away by him. It was great to have him on the podcast to chat about things like his insane process, his sleep schedule, cheese, bikes, and all things Hebrew. Not only is he a busy body but he is the sweetest human and we're happy to call him one of our best buds!!!!

On July 17th we hosted a live show in New York with our bud Rob of Meet the Creatives. We first interviewed Jon Contino and then Rob interviewed Jennet Liaw. Overall it was an amazing night with lots of nerdy creatives and the drinks were plentiful! Jon definitely got crazy with us on stage, showing that he may some day have a career in stand up comedy.

Dani is in the house!!!! Home girl is a Jill of all trades. She runs the clothing line Dazey LA, out of... you guessed it... LA! She also runs a coworking space, travels a shit ton, does speaking engagements, photography, the whole shabang. On top of ALL of that she is a swiss cheese lover and latte drinker. We get deep about all of the above and what it's like to be a female entrepreneur. She's inspiring and we love her!

This week we have the dancing queen/design master/sign painting human Mr. Connor Lock for ya! He goes by Seven and you definitely won't be disappointed by his work. Connor has lived all over the place but now resides in Charleston, SC. We obviously discuss the food scene there and all things design.
