"Being overconfident can do more hard than good— (especially) if you think that everything is going to be easy for you and you deserve everything right off the bat... people get into a lot of trouble and their growth gets stifled a little bit if they're not open to just toiling away in the dark for quite some time...” In this episode, I met up with Penguin Books, Mucca Design, and Fili Ltd. alum Nick Misani. Nick has been honing his typographic skills by designing decorative book covers and digging into the history books to learn more from historical references—this has led him to the successful side project called Fauxsacis. Our conversation went a bit long, but it was the first time meeting Nick. Not only did I want to hear more about the process of beginning a project like Fauxsaicas, but also I what he learn from working with Louise Fili. Even though Nick was getting over a cold, he shared some wisdom on why the limitations of his fake mosaics are rooted in tradition, why he decided to start this as an Instagram project, and what he has in store for the future. Look out USA, he's bringing workshops to a city near you :) Thanks again Nick for a great interview! Sorry my procrastination delayed the release of your episode and say hi to Cooper.

Have you contemplated leaving the comforts of a company to strike out on your own to pursue a creative calling? Perhaps you have an idea for a product or service. While there’s a strong pull to pursue it, hesitation maybe holding you back. You’re worried about being good enough, attracting customers and clients, and how to make it all come together to find fulfillment, but also tend to the practical side of things like paying the bills!

Well in today’s episode of FemgineerTV, we’re going to be tackling all these topics. To help us out, I’ve invited Jessica Hische, who is a letter, illustrator, and type designer. Jessica began her career working for a design studio HeadCase. Then went on to work for a prominent designer, Louise Fili, and eventually struck out on her own. Jessica has had notable clients like Wes Anderson, David Eggers, Tiffany Co, and Nike just to name a few. As you watch this episode you’ll learn: Steps you can take early in your career, such as how to reach out to people or companies you want to work for and learn from Why a day job can be immensely valuable and how to find one that is nurturing Why you don’t have to run a 10+ person design studio or a 100+ startup, and can be a solopreneur How to reconcile your client’s vision with your own creative desires How to get compensated fairly by conveying the price and value of your work Why learning tangential skills as a creative can be helpful when it comes to hiring Balancing side projects and attracting work with the day-to-day work that pays the bills Whether you’ve been in your career for 6 months or 6+ years, and have toyed with the idea of doing your own thing but weren’t sure how to set your own terms, this episode is for you!

This week on The Food Seen Michael sits down with “the Mt. Rushmore of NYC Food Graphic Designers”: Matteo Bologna, Douglas Riccardi & Louise Fili. The trio discusses projects past and present, and what it means to brand or simply create a logo for food-oriented companies, plus their own graphic design pet peeves. The discussion also dips into nerdy realms, with the designers admitting to their own nerd-ed out moments of design (multiple character ‘fake script' fonts and complete graphic packages composed entirely by hand). This episode was sponsored by Fairway: like no other market. Photo 1: Louise Fili, Photo 2: Matteo Bologna, Photo 3: Douglas Riccardi
