| 9/29/21 | 25 - Rolling with the Happy Accidents with Lettering Artist and Designer Cymone Wilder from Simon and Moose | Today we're talking with Cymone Wilder from Simon and Moose. She is a full time graphic designer by day, amazing lettering artist by night. She has some really cool creative processes and uses some unique methods and materials to create her artwork, so it was really fun to hear the behind the scenes on that! For those of you who missed it, last week we launched a graphic design contract template! Thank you all for your support on that!! It is thorough, peer reviewed contract, made in collaboration with my lawyer Kiersty Loughmiller. I always say hiring your own lawyer is the best option, but a contract template like this drafted by a lawyer is the next best and a super affordable option.

| 9/15/21 |  23 - The Joy of Starting with Jess Levitz | Today we're talking with Jess Levitz the other half of Shoppe Theory! So you guys remember Do-Hee, she was our very first interview ever on the podcast. Do-Hee is the web design partner of Shoppe Theory and Jess does more of the graphic design side so we're really excited to have her on and hear her perspective. You may know her from The Creative Lady Collective Facebook group/ Instagram/ website formerly known as Freelance Wisdom. In this interview we talk about not being afraid to put your work out there, the perks of having a studio with a small team versus being a creative director managing a lot of people. She also takes us on a deep dive into her branding process which you know I loved! So I do need to apologize for my audio in this episode.... I don't always point it out when my audio is bad because I feel like people wouldn't notice it a lot of the time if I didn't but this time.... it's pretty bad. I was at my parent's house and I wasn't as prepared as I thought so I had to use my AirPods which FYI are pretty much the worst thing you can record your audio on... so there you go if you find yourself wondering why I sound like I'm speaking through a Wendy's Drive-Thru speaker and Jess sounds really great that's why! So sorry guys... I'm not an audio engineer, I'm just a girl trying to share the stories of some pretty rad ladies. Ok! Here's Jess.

| 9/8/21 | 22 - How to Get Clients and Gain Confidence with Hayley Barry from Type Affiliated | You guys... Hayley is absolutely incredible. She has been hand lettering professionally since she was in high school and has pretty much been hustling non-stop ever since. She's worked with a lot of amazing clients, if you live in Utah (specifically Provo) you've definitely seen her artwork in a store window, a mural, a logo or even on a billboard. And you've most likely pointed it out and talked about how cool it was! Something that we didn't discuss in the episode is that Hayley has been battling cancer on and off since she was 14 and right now she is in the hospital getting a bone marrow transplant. This involves Hayley being in the hospital for about a month, and the reason I'm sharing this with you is to ask for prayers. Hayley needs our prayers right now. Hayley is such an amazing, incredible strong person. Even before knowing the details of her cancer story I could just feel there was something special about her and Steph and I actually said to each other after this interview "Can you imagine if everyone had Hayley's confidence? And a world full of Hayley's??" What an amazing world that would be. I just feel truly blessed we were able to spend this time talking with her and learning from her. We love you Hayley!!!

| 6/30/21 | 12 - Practicing Design Daily with Olivia Herrick | Can you believe we convinced Olivia Herrick to come on our podcast? If you're a graphic designer you probably already know who Olivia is, but if you don't Olivia is a graphic designer based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, best known for her playful, vibrant, and positive artwork. Though you will often find her glued to her computer at her studio, Olivia finds her greatest inspiration in the great outdoors. We had suuuch a good conversation with Olivia, she is SO well spoken! I always take notes when I'm editing to keep track of points I want to mention in the intro and I had such a long list after editing this episode! We talked about her goal to run the most stress-free studio that she possibly can, the importance of having a daily design practice to get the juices flowing, giving yourself permission to do what feels right for you as opposed to what people on Instagram are telling you you should be doing, being open-minded to change in your business, knowing when to hire help, and at the end she even encourages us not to follow her on Instagram(more on that later)! - Although sorry Olivia I am going to send them to your Instagram because it is a gold mine of inspiration!

In this episode we talk about what boxes to NOT put ourselves in when starting out, her biggest mindset shift that made her happier and more successful, and her advice on how to raise your prices and what to do when a client doesn’t like that. We had the most amazing time talking with Latesha, she’s a ray of light and knowledge and we can’t wait for you to hear everything she has to say.

Like both Lauren and I she hails from the great state of Utah and is calling in from her garage studio. We talked about what truly drives her creativity, what it’s like trying to balance being a mom and wanting to design all the things all the time, and her experience becoming a muralist. Bonus: She shares her tried and true “best thing” you can do to develop your own personal style, and it’s good. We’re honored to have heard her story and can’t wait for you to hear it too! A teeny tiny disclaimer, it was our second episode ever and we had technical difficulties, so the audio isn’t as good as we’d like it to be. BUT we promise the story is so, so worth it.

| 4/21/21 | 1 - Don't Drink the Kool-Aid! with Do-Hee Kim | Do-Hee is a self-taught, Korean-American designer of 8 years. She is the co-founder and web design partner at Shoppe Theory, a boutique design studio specializing in creative solutions for retail businesses. A fan of color, typography, and labors of love -- Do-Hee is based in San Francisco (but calling in from New York today!). In this interview we find out out how Do-Hee went from getting a double major in history and studio art to becoming the co-founder and web design partner of a design studio when a creative career was NOT on her radar. Some other topics we cover include: working for a start-up , pursuing interests outside of work, managing a team and the one word they watch out for as a red flag when vetting clients! I am so excited for you to hear this interview, there is SO much good advice especially for anyone interested in pursuing a career in design or specifically web design.

| 4/21/21 | Meet Your Hosts Lauren & Steph | Hey! I'm Lauren Kunz, a surface pattern and web designer, and I'm Steph, a do-everything-creative graphic designer, and we're both fans of connecting those who are doing it with those who want to be doing it and sharing all the knowledge. Here on the Design Beat podcast we interview inspiring creative women in the design field to share their stories and encourage others to GO FOR IT. In this episode we do some quick "favorites" questions and talk a little bit about who we are, what we do, why we started the podcast, and one important thing about social media that we find a little sad but also a little bit awesome. And while this episode is a more casual and, let's be honest, LOL-y than our normal interviews, we're excited to be here and hope to see you around for future episodes. Keep doing what you're doing and designing to the beat of your own drum—we're here to cheer you on. Graphic Design Contract Template Use code: LOYALLISTENER for 50% off!!
