Tu peux soutenir sur le podcast en mettant 5⭐️ sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify !Romain est le Head of Product Design & User Research du journal Le Monde.Après le lycée, Romain fait un DUT Services et Réseaux de Communication un peu par hasard. Autour de lui, il n'y a que des personnes qui ont déjà du design ou des sites internet. Il ne se sent pas forcément à sa place. En deuxième année, il découvre Flash et s'y intéresse fortement. Mais c'est le développement, plus que le design qui l'intéresse alors dans cette technologie. Il passe alors un entretien de développeur Flash en agence. Mais c'est un poste de designer qui lui est proposé. Poste qu'il accepte. Il doit alors faire de l'animation sur Flash.Il rejoint ensuite Les Gobelins à Annecy, mais postule dans le parcours de développeur. Mais une fois accepté, il fait en sorte d'être de suivre le parcours designer. Il suit ses études en alternance, en travaillant au service Communication & Marketing de Salomon. C'est là où il découvre un nouveau monde entre le design et le numérique : l'UX Design. Il est également formé au fait que son design doit être objectivé et avoir un impact sur le business.A la suite de ses études, Romain part en agence, à Paris. Il imagine des campagnes publicitaires numériques et les décline ensuite en wireframe.Ensuite, il rejoint la start-up Keecker qui veut créer un robot multifonctions pour la maison. Romain s'occupe alors de la création de l'interface de contrôle depuis un téléphone. Il revient sur ce qu'il a réussi à mettre en place et ce qu'il aurait aimé faire autrement.En 2017, lorsque le robot sort, Romain rejoint Deezer : la création d'un object physique est long et il est le seul designer. Il a alors l'opportunité de travailler en équipe sur un produit qui évolue vite. Il design alors l'expérience cœur de l'application (la navigation, l'application desktop ou Xbox). Après un an, il devient Lead et passe du design au management, d'une équipe de 6 personnes.Au bout de 2 années, Romain se fait débaucher par le groupe Accor. Un aventure de courte durée : le design est une partie infime du travail de Romain, il doit majoritairement faire de la politique, ce qui ne lui plait pas forcément. Au même moment, il découvre une offre pour rejoindre le journal Le Monde…… qu'il rejoint en tant que Head of Product Design. Il arrive dans une équipe bien établie, mais qui va devoir grossir. Son équipe passe alors de 4 à 10 personnes et composées de Product Designers, User Researchers, une Visual Designer et une Data Analyst.Dans cet épisode, Romain nous explique l'organisation de son équipe, ses méthodes de travail, ses rituels, ce qu'ils ont mis en place pour garder de la cohérence, etc.On aborde aussi la relation entre l'équipe Product Design et les journalistes : l'évangélisation de la User Research grâce à la mise en place d'un CMS interne, la mise en place de designs en fonction des besoins journalistiques - comme le soir des élections -, la réflexion sur de nouveaux concepts à destination des journalistes…On discute également de la difficile équation entre améliorer l'expérience utilisateur et favoriser le business model du journal centré autour de la publicité et de l'abonnement.Romain revient également sur ce qui est mis en place au Monde depuis 2 ans pour améliorer l'accessibilité et les résultats obtenus dans le temps.Enfin, on parle de ce qui arrive pour la suite du Monde et pour l'équipe de Romain.Les ressources de l'épisodeLe MondeThe Culture Code, Daniel CoyleHow to Win the Premier League, Ian GrahamLes autres épisode de Design Journeys#41 David Duhamel, Lead UX Designer @ Radio France#71 Nicolas Morand, Head of Design & Innovation @ Lunii#85 Rémi Guyot, Co-fondateur @ Discovery DisciplineCase Study#2 Discovery Discipline avec Rémi Guyot & Tristan Charvillat Pour contacter Romain LinkedIn

This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to enable freelancers to take the guesswork out of running their business. My guest is Rachel Renock, Co-founder and CEO of Wethos. Rachel Renock has held various positions in the creative industry since 2009. Digital Design Intern at VOX Global. Associate Art Director at G2 Worldwide. Art Director and Visual Designer at Havas Worldwide and, ultimately, in 2015, a freelance role as a Photographer/ Designer at OPAM. After quitting her job in advertising to pursue more meaningful work, she co-founded a freelance studio to put together project-based teams for nonprofit organizations. In just 18 months, this generated $1.4 million in gross revenue and deployed over 150 diverse creative teams of the best and brightest.  But with their fast growth came the chaos of scale and a mountain of spreadsheets. From figuring out what to charge to putting scopes of work together to managing invoices and payments to collaborators, the paperwork never seemed to end. This became the founding idea for Wethos, which she leads as the CEO.  Wethos is solving arguably the most difficult challenge in the freelance economy.  Vision: Put more money into the pockets of independents everywhere Their mission: make it easier for founders to start and scale their freelance businesses and help more people break 6-figures.  And this inspired me, and hence I invited Rachel to my podcast. We explore what's broken in the way freelancers manage their business. Rachel shares her vision of how to solve this. She then elaborates on how she's been addressing the problem radically differently from the start - and how that helped to create strong momentum, growing from serving 100 freelancers in 2020, to well over 80.000 businesses today. She shares her lessons learned, what to pay attention to (and what not). Last but not least, she shares her perspective on creating a SaaS business people start talking about and keep talking about. Here's one of her quotes: One thing that we were really cognizant of is making sure that we were focusing on profitability and not productivity, I think there is a challenge there. There is a lot of productivity software. There are a lot of software providers out there that are going to tell you, we're going to save you my time, we're gonna make you more efficient.  With our software, we want it to help freelancers make more money, we wanted to help them to capture more margin, and we wanted it to help them figure out how much we should charge for this thing. During this interview, you will learn four things: Not every business is managed equally - and that's a massive opportunity to create durable differentiation. Many SaaS founders become a magnet for competition just by selecting the problem they solve for. How to solidly embed your vision into every decision made inside your SaaS business.

Tu peux soutenir sur le podcast sur KissKissBankBank ou en mettant 5⭐️ sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify ! Félix est VP Design chez Lydia. Après son bac, Félix rejoint l'école de design Nantes Atlantique. Il a l'intention d'y devenir designer industriel. Mais durant sa première année, il découvre le design numérique et son potentiel : itérer rapidement et facilement. Il décide de se spécialiser dans cette branche. Durant ses études, il fait plusieurs stages. Un premier stage à New-York, il travaille sur l'ergonomie et l'UX de certains sites vitrines tout en apprenant l'anglais. Après 6 mois, il change d'entreprise et découvre un nouveau terrain de jeu : le mobile. Il a l'opportunité de créer une application iOS de zéro. En même temps, l'App Store et les apps explosent : Félix se spécialise dans le mobile. Malheureusement, l'entreprise n'aura pas le succès escompté et ferme au bout de 6 mois. Félix rejoint alors Lydia. Il commence son aventure dans l'entreprise en tant que Junior Designer. Il y est énormément challengé sur la création de l'application, mais également sur les éléments marketing. On aborde l'ensemble des sujets sur lesquels il a travaillé à cette époque : paiements entre amis, paiements professionnels ou encore cagnotte. Félix nous parle de l'évolution de l'application pour atteindre le succès : une application claire et simple d'utilisation, basée sur l'effet de réseau. Après 2 ans, Félix laisse de côté le Brand Design pour se concentrer uniquement sur le produit. Il devient Lead Product Designer et recrute un Visual Designer. Le champ des fonctionnalités sur lesquelles il travaille s'étend largement. Lydia commence à changer de visage : challenger la banque traditionnelle. Félix revient sur la manière dont il travaillait à l'époque. Il nous explique comment une fonctionnalité était réfléchie, mise en place, testée et améliorée. Il aborde aussi les impacts produit et design suite au changement de paradigme de l'entreprise et la façon de l'aborder par l'équipe. On discute également de l'importance des retours utilisateurs, de la façon de les traiter et d'en prendre compte pour améliorer le produit. En 4 ans, l'application Lydia a été refondue 2 fois. La première fois, Lydia veut remplacer les apps bancaires : on peut retrouver l'ensemble de ses comptes bancaires et gérer l'ensemble de ses virements depuis Lydia. La deuxième, il s'agit de mettre en avant l'ensemble des fonctionnalités de l'application. Tout refaire n'est pas anodin. Félix explique ce qu'il fait pour s'assurer que tout fonctionnera correctement : test utilisateur, recherche et tracking en continu. Il revient aussi sur la réaction des utilisateurs et de ses collègues, ainsi que de la pertinence de refaire l'application d'un point de vue business. Ensuite, Félix change de poste : il devient Product Owner. Il a la volonté de découvrir autre chose, de travailler différemment. Un an après, il passe Head of Design et constitue une équipe, qui comprend aujourd'hui 8 personnes. L'occasion de discuter de ce que Félix recherche chez un designer et comment il mène des entretiens de recrutement. On aborde également l'organisation et des rituels mis en place pour apporter de la cohésion dans son équipe. Aussi, parle-t-on de la mise en place du Design System et des Design Principles de Lydia. Et enfin, on aborde la relation entre l'équipe Product Design et l'équipe Marketing. Pour conclure, on parle du nouveau rôle de Félix : VP Design.

Félix est VP Design chez Lydia. Après son bac, Félix rejoint l'école de design Nantes Atlantique. Il a l'intention d'y devenir designer industriel. Mais durant sa première année, il découvre le design numérique et son potentiel : itérer rapidement et facilement. Il décide de se spécialiser dans cette branche. Durant ses études, il fait plusieurs stages. Un premier stage à New-York, il travaille sur l'ergonomie et l'UX de certains sites vitrines tout en apprenant l'anglais. Après 6 mois, il change d'entreprise et découvre un nouveau terrain de jeu : le mobile. Il a l'opportunité de créer une application iOS de zéro. En même temps, l'App Store et les apps explosent : Félix se spécialise dans le mobile. Malheureusement, l'entreprise n'aura pas le succès escompté et ferme au bout de 6 mois. Félix rejoint alors Lydia. Il commence son aventure dans l'entreprise en tant que Junior Designer. Il y est énormément challengé sur la création de l'application, mais également sur les éléments marketing. On aborde l'ensemble des sujets sur lesquels il a travaillé à cette époque : paiements entre amis, paiements professionnels ou encore cagnotte. Félix nous parle de l'évolution de l'application pour atteindre le succès : une application claire et simple d'utilisation, basée sur l'effet de réseau. Après 2 ans, Félix laisse de côté le Brand Design pour se concentrer uniquement sur le produit. Il devient Lead Product Designer et recrute un Visual Designer. Le champ des fonctionnalités sur lesquelles il travaille s'étend largement. Lydia commence à changer de visage : challenger la banque traditionnelle. Félix revient sur la manière dont il travaillait à l'époque. Il nous explique comment une fonctionnalité était réfléchie, mise en place, testée et améliorée. Il aborde aussi les impacts produit et design suite au changement de paradigme de l'entreprise et la façon de l'aborder par l'équipe. On discute également de l'importance des retours utilisateurs, de la façon de les traiter et d'en prendre compte pour améliorer le produit. En 4 ans, l'application Lydia a été refondue 2 fois. La première fois, Lydia veut remplacer les apps bancaires : on peut retrouver l'ensemble de ses comptes bancaires et gérer l'ensemble de ses virements depuis Lydia. La deuxième, il s'agit de mettre en avant l'ensemble des fonctionnalités de l'application. Tout refaire n'est pas anodin. Félix explique ce qu'il fait pour s'assurer que tout fonctionnera correctement : test utilisateur, recherche et tracking en continu. Il revient aussi sur la réaction des utilisateurs et de ses collègues, ainsi que de la pertinence de refaire l'application d'un point de vue business. Ensuite, Félix change de poste : il devient Product Owner. Il a la volonté de découvrir autre chose, de travailler différemment. Un an après, il passe Head of Design et constitue une équipe, qui comprend aujourd'hui 8 personnes. L'occasion de discuter de ce que Félix recherche chez un designer et comment il mène des entretiens de recrutement. On aborde également l'organisation et des rituels mis en place pour apporter de la cohésion dans son équipe. Aussi, parle-t-on de la mise en place du Design System et des Design Principles de Lydia. Et enfin, on aborde la relation entre l'équipe Product Design et l'équipe Marketing. Pour conclure, on parle du nouveau rôle de Félix : VP Design.

Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Foster Gamble. Researcher, Co-Writer and Visual Designer of the documentary THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take? and THRIVE II: This Is What It Takes. Previously, he was CEO of MindCenter Corporation and an instructor in the non-violent martial art of Aikido. He was the on-screen host for the PBS documentary Aikido - The Way of Harmony and created three consulting services — Interaction Dynamics, LifeBalance and Zonesport — which he has delivered throughout the country.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH FOSTER GAMBLE Imagine growing up in the Proctor and Gamble family. What that life looked like and how having such a family can influence you. What life is like when you realize that everything you've ever been taught, about money, history, and physics, was all a lie and not actually true? We talk about humanity, spiritual energy, and interpersonal energy.  How a special code that the Gamble family has, overrides everything else in life and is one that you might want to incorporate into your life. Foster and I talk about the solutions and how we can have more freedom, more liberty, more prosperity, and more happiness on our planet… I think you'll love this conversation. Great question for Foster, ‘how would you simplify the entire world situation into a sentence?' Incredible answer. We talk about the ‘non-aggression principle and if you're not sure what that is, make sure to listen today. I believe once you understand fully, this will become part of your day-to-day life. What is Mob Rule? I think you'll be surprised how the government works and why this is so important to really understand what the consequences can be. Are you awake yet? What will it take to wake you up? This might be the episode that helps you get from there to here! You'll be amazed at how many families are now homeschooling their children, especially after the last 2 years of government-run schools and finding out what kind of BS the teachers were teaching. Parents are finally waking up! Foster explains why he and his wife wrote and produced their films, both Thrive and Thrive II and why you need to watch both of them ASAP!  I asked Foster, 'do you remember that pivotal moment when you were first red pilled? When your eyes were opened? Foster shares his story with us, don't miss this. We discuss ‘accurate thinking... what is it and why is it so important? Finally, a simple question; given everything that we know, what are our chances? How are we doing? Wow…    HOW TO REACH FOSTER GAMBLE https://www.thriveon.com/ (ThriveOn.com)   RELATED EPISODES  https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/peter-young (192: Building Free Private Cities Around The World – Peter Young) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/john-bush (182: Creating Your Freedom Cell Overseas - John Bush) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/jeffrey-tucker/ (127: Lockdowns Around The World And Where It's Safe To Go - Jeffrey Tucker)   CONCLUSION If this is your first time listening to The Expat Money Show, then you are in for a surprise. This is a really important conversation that Foster Gamble and things that just need to be said. I believe a lot of people out there feel like they're alone going through this situation, whether that's awakening or finding freedom or becoming an expat, which is my very small niche in all of this. Many of you are out there, and it's just about connecting and working together.  This might be an episode you listen to more than once. Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 7 of season 3 of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series all about data visualisation design. In this episode I am delighted to welcome Mick Yang, who at the time of the recording was the Partnerships Executive, and Munirah Mansoor, Visual Designer, at Kontinentalist, based in Singapore. We had a detailed conversation about the data and design story behind a data story 'Sexual violence in Singapore: a crisis', produced and published by the Kontinentalist studio in 2021. As well as listening to this show, you can watch the video of this conversation, illuminated by accompanying visual details of the design workflow. Head over to Youtube and visit the Explore Explain channel. Please note: As the project title will already suggest, please note this conversation discusses the communication and analysis of data relating to sexual assault and violence, hence the decision to mark this episode as including explicit content.

Welcome to Season 3 of the Working Within Podcast and thank you for joining us for another episode! You can read this episode description like you're talking to me [Charlyn] since I'm the only guest this week. I know it's been a while. I'm really eager for this episode to be shared because I'm discussing our future *after more than a year of production* and talking about how much we've learned since we started *more than a year ago*. I also recorded during Mercury Retrograde, so we had time to slow down and talk astro again and be grateful. There is so much that's happened and been magical for me and the team in the past few months, so we wanted to let you in on some of it….along with some ideas about the do's and don'ts of Mercury retrograde Working Within is also re-establishing our vision. It's been a season of changes for me professionally, and the people we've attracted to the show have taught me a lot about being unafraid of more “controversial” topics, especially when these are the topics that affect Black and Brown people, and people who are negatively affected by the status quo. Oh and the Working Within team continues to grow as we do! If you haven't sent a psychic hello to Hannah or Mara yet, please do so. You can also see more about them on our Team page.

Sometimes one decision can completely change the trajectory of your life! That's what happened to Natalia Cardona Puerta when she decided to follow her dreams of being an illustrator and uproot her life in Colombia.In this episode, I chat with Colombian illustrator Natalia Cardona Puerta who creates colorful and playful illustrations inspired by her ‘90s upbringing, her love for the outdoors, and her innermost feelings.Natalia “never in a million years” expected to leave Colombia, but after graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design she took a break and realized she wanted to reconnect with her creative voice. Eventually, her mom encouraged her to pursue a Master's degree and it all happened very quickly from there. One thing lead to the next and she was on a one-way flight to Georgia to pursue a Master's degree in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design.Nowadays, Natalia is going through the permanent residency process here in the U.S. to be able to live and work here long term. The legal process has been slow and frustrating. She feels it slowed down her post-grad momentum but she is taking this time to ”plant a lot of seeds” that are sure to blossom in the future.Tune into this episode to hear Natalia and I talk about growing up in Bogota, why she decided to immigrate to the U.S., and how she developed her illustration style after graduating.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.EPISODE LINKS:Listener Survey: Take the survey to help me improve Season 2!Guest Links: Check out Natalia's Instagram and Portfolio.Host Links: Check out Fabiola Lara on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Topics Covered:Living a sheltered life in turbulent Bogota in the early 90sRejecting a fine art career path for an undergraduate degree in Industrial DesignPursuing a Master's in Illustration at SCAD after learning about the program a few week priorThe difficulties of being an artist in the US pursuing a Permanent Resident Card (greencard)The impacts of not being able to work in the US as an artistThe pros and cons of receiving an art school educationHer current creative routine after graduatingFinding a better work-life balance after graduationDeveloping her personal illustration style and tailoring her portfolioThe feeling of languishing during slow creative seasonsWorking with an illustration agent for editorial and publishing projectsCompleting a large-scale mural for a dream clientWorking with The Washington Post on an editorial illustration

If you feel that running an online shop isn't a solid long-term plan, today's guest is about to blow your mind! In this episode, I chat with Cuban-American illustrator Danny Brito, who has run a successful and sustainable online shop for over a decade.Danny originally went to college for Graphic Design, but eventually dropped out to pursue illustration independently after “the universe told” him he wasn't good at academics. Once he realized you could sell prints of your illustrations instead of only originals, he opened an Etsy store and has kept it running ever since.After 38,000 online sales, Danny has learned to design products as he goes, as opposed to developing entire collections, in order to get a sense of how his customers receive the new merch. With this method, he's been able to create a variety of products that make his online shop more sustainable in the long term.Tune into this episode to hear Danny and I chat about his experience as an alt-Cuban in Miami, the intricacies of Cuban politics, how he's made his online shop sustainable, and exactly how he feels about online art theft.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.Guest Links:Danny's online shop, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTokFree Download:Listeners of the podcast can get a free, undated weekly and monthly planner inspired by the show from our website here.Follow Host Fabiola Lara between episodes:InstagramYoutubeTikTokTopics Covered:Growing up in Hialeah aka “Little Cuba”How his family immigrated from CubaFacing culture shock when you leave MiamiTrying to fit in with American “white” cultureReconnecting with his Cuban roots with his Cuban boyfriendHis experience of losing his connection to the Spanish languageAvoiding racism by staying in the Miami bubbleThe politics of Cubans in MiamiWhy he chose to drop out of Graphic Design schoolHow he started his merch career with custom painted tote bags for clients from LivejournalHow he started an Etsy shop in a different era (2009)Fundraising with sticker sales and matching donations for charitiesDealing with artistic theftWhether he thinks art theft is ultimately preventable in an online eraStruggling with imposter syndrome as an artistHow finding community can help you cope with imposter syndromeRolling with the punches when it comes to the ever-changing social media trends

Did you ever feel like you didn't fit in with the Latinx kids at your school? This week's guest experienced just that after moving from Tijuana to San Diego for her Sophomore year of high school.In this episode, I chat with Mexican illustrator and designer Itzel Islas who's worked with brands like Nickelodeon, GoFundMe, and for her own brand @YAYITZEL.Itzel never wanted to leave Tijuana, but now she's so thankful her parents made that decision when she was just in high school. She had a hard time adjusting to American life to the point where even the automatic sprinklers made her mad, but now she can't imagine her life being any other way. Thankfully, since they moved right over the border to San Diego, she's always managed to feel very connected to her Mexican heritage and grew up constantly going back and forth across the border.Nowadays, Itzel is a self-employed graphic designer and illustrator who creates amazing bilingual products inspired by her Mexican culture. Despite originally having doubts about creating products in two languages — and sometimes even in Spanglish — now she recognizes it's the best decision she could've made.Tune into this episode to hear Itzel and I talk all about her artsy emo days in high school, how her mom helped her discover the field of Graphic Design, and how she decided to create bilingual products to stay true to herself.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform. Guest Links: Itzel's online shop, portfolio, Instagram, and TikTok! Host Links: Follow Fabiola Lara on Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube! Free Download: Listeners of the podcast can get a free, undated weekly and monthly planner inspired by the show from our website here. Topics Covered:How Itzel's family decided to move to the United States to help her and her siblings pursue a college educationFinding her high school clique as an Artsy Mexican girl from TijuanaThe diversity of people within Latin AmericaHow her parents didn't want her to pursue being a Makeup ArtistHow her mom lead her to Graphic DesignPaying for and attending college, and whether she recommends it nowDeciding to go freelance from a full-time, in-house jobThe stress and anxiety she developed from working in a toxic workplaceBalancing work and personal life as a freelance graphic designerHow she launched her online shop YAYITZELHer experience creating bilingual productsGoing viral and her advice for artists on TikTokLaunching a Patreon to create stable income after leaving her in-house gigHer dream commissions under YAYITZEL   

This week's guest grew up drawing book covers and joining competitive reading bowls just for fun! In this episode, I chat with Afro-Colombian cartoonist and illustrator Arantza Peña Popo who's created comics for publications such as The New Yorker, title slides for Cartoon Network, and editorial illustrations for Refinery29. Arantza and I talk about how people question her existence as an Afro-Colombiana, the persistent conflict between her American and Colombian culture, and how she found her passion for autobiographical comics.Arantza immigrated from Colombia with her mother as a refugee and landed in Clarkston, Georgia before moving to Stone Mountain, Georgia. Arantza grew up in a diverse community but struggled with the isolation of her identity as an Afro-Latina. These days, she is reconnecting with her Colombian culture through Salsa music, even if that means her mom is technically “winning.”Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.Books Mentioned in this Episode:One for the money by Janet EvanovichSmile by Raina TelgemeierAnya's Ghost by Vera BrosgolThis One Summer by Jillian TamakiThrough the Woods by Emily CarrollOther Links:Junior High by Faye OrloveOblivion by GrimesTiny Splendor Risograph PrintingGuest InfoCheck out Arantza''s Instagram  and Portfolio!Special OfferListeners of the podcast can get a free, undated weekly and monthly planner inspired by the show from our website here.Follow Host Fabiola Lara between episodes:InstagramYoutubeTikTokTopics Covered:How her family immigrated to the US from ColombiaGrowing up in an immigrant and refugee communityGrowing up bookish and drawing book covers for funParticipating in the Helen Ruffin Reading BowlHow people question her existence as an Afro-ColombianaThe struggle to identify with the larger Latinx communityThe strife between her American and Colombian cultureHow she got into making comics after being introduced to more complex comicsHer recent solo show “The World is Looking For You” at Junior High LAHow Risograph printing translates the digital into analogFeeling conflicted about fine art and comics cultureHow she let go of the “elite academic white gaze” for her workNavigating oversharing in her own autobiographical comicsWinning the Doodle for Google competition in 2019

This week's guest believes making money from art isn't harder than any other career. In this episode, I chat with Cuban-Bahamian artist and author Reyna Noriega who's worked with clients such as Apple, Old Navy, and The New Yorker. Reyna and I talk about the complexities of being Afro-Latina, why NFTs are dumb, and why she ultimately decided to leave teaching art to focus on being an artist.Reyna initially tried to tread cautiously into freelancing by taking a creative director role at a startup, but quickly realized it wasn't for her — so she jumped into freelancing earlier than expected. After just a few months, she was able to stabilize her income and move out of her parents' house as a full-time artist. Now, she creates illustrations for brands, runs an online shop with the help of her mom, and writes her poems as a form of self-reflection.In this episode, Reyna shares her journey to becoming a full-time artist, the growing pains of running an online shop, and how she's now working on creating a legacy for herself and her family.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:Her passion and love for her hometown of MiamiGentrification and the rising cost of housing in MiamiThe struggles of being Afro-LatinaWhy she prefers the word LatinxImpulsively pursuing Psychology at FIUThe reality of being a teacher in the public school systemWhy she ultimately left teaching for a creative careerHow she decided to take the leap to freelancingWhy she loves being an independent and freelance artistThe growing pains of running an online shopCreating art beyond social media in order to create a legacy for herselfWhy NFTs aren't real and are cash grabs for artistsThe process of writing her collection of poems, “In My Cocoon”Her experience self-publishing projectsHer upcoming projects in 2021Her amazing ReelGuest InfoCheck out Reyna's Instagram, Portfolio, and Shop!Special OfferListeners of the podcast can get a free, undated weekly and monthly planner inspired by the show from our website here.Follow Host Fabiola Lara between episodes:InstagramYoutubeTikTok

Megan was an “egg-zellent” guest - you'll get that reference by the end of the show I promise - and I'm eager to share our conversation. Megan is a talented visual designer that I've been lucky enough to work with on a few projects at Blink. In addition to her design skills she brings a ton of joy and energy to the work she does. Beyond some practical UX advice, we also discussed some general career advice that I think you'll find interesting. I really admire her willingness to work hard and stretch her skills. Hopefully you will pull out some good nuggets of advice. I know I did. Go check out her “Eggzibit” at her website megangreco.com or on her Instagram @meggrecoart. LINKS LinkedIn Portfolio Artwork Thank you Megan for being a guest on the show! If you want to get in touch or if you have questions about pursuing a UX career please email me at hello@uxpursuit.com.

This weeks guest is Ben Barry. He is a freelance Visual Designer currently in Portland OR. Ben was also one of the first Communication Designers to join Facebook in the early days and is the Co-Founder of Facebooks Analog Research Lab. During this episode we do a deep dive into two book projects. The first one is a different perspective on a book I talked about back in Episode 25 with Tim Belonax. This booklet had a tight timeline, a team working on it, and loads of special print effects. The second project we talk about is for Airbnb about a very special home in Japan. The Yoshino Cedar House. Much like the home in which it is about, the booklet was very well thought out, put together over a longer period of time, and uses incredible materials. This is a great conversation between two huge fans of print and the experiences you can create with the print medium.
