    Episode 12: Lynn Tran

    For this week’s episode of Outsider I sat down with Lynn Tran, who DJs under the moniker of fukhed. A Brisbanite who's recently moved to Sydney, Lynn is a DJ and aspiring producer who recently won the AIAIAI x HÖR Berlin DJ Mix Challenge, and flew over to record a mix in the iconic bathroom. While she's now focusing on DJing, Lynn has previously worked in both music marketing and international fashion buying and production. She regards these roles as both enriching and challenging, and a common theme in Lynn's stories is bringing past lessons learned into her approach to new projects. We discuss the challenges we face in the pursuit of creative fulfillment, and compare notes on the reality of working in full-time corporate creative roles.

In the world of commercial creativity Georgia is a special case, with no complete formal qualification in graphic design. Georgia’s background is in architecture and mural painting, however the common thread along her career has always been a commitment to ambition, excellence and self-development.
