Follow us on Intsa @dsmtl_ for more content, behind the scenes, and access to guests.https://www.instagram.com/dsmtl_/ Episode 6 -I approached Lyndal and her badass design studio September as a client. I had seen the beautiful work she and her team had done. I had seen the way she had spoken to clients, asked the right questions, and then told them their brand's story back to them in such an elegant and intimate way, almost better than they knew it themselves.And I think this is the power we have as creatives, to absorb what is around us, combine it with what is inside us, and then have that speak to the world.Creative design, and art direction, is such a subjective medium. People always have an opinion, and if everyone likes your stuff you’re probably doing it wrong. So I was super interested in talking to Lyndal about it.Because like I said, she knows what she is doing. And she’s been doing it for a long time. But more importantly, she has done so by being what I what call genuinely lovely.She would never go out there to “crush it” or “hustle” but man, she crushes it, and has hustled her face off to build her own business that is well known and respected. One that looks after their clients.She is soft-spoken, accommodating, disarming, and humble beyond belief.And in this episode she takes us on the journey of rising up within a well-established agency to becoming its creative director, to then taking the plunge back into the freelance pool, and then doing that crazy thing of starting her own agency in such a competitive market.Welcome to DISMANTLE.Guest: Lyndal Harris @september_design_studioHost: Clayton Idato @claytonidatoCrew: Christian McGuinness @macsnaps : Ryan Unwin @ryanjohnunwinLocation: Work Club @workclubglobalProduced by: Skyline Creative @skylinecreative
