    13: Brett Williams of Designjoy Answers Tough Questions About His Million-Dollar Design Job

    Welcome to the Creative Brief, a hangout with your favorite creatives, entrepreneurs, and influencers. Today, I’m sitting down with Brett Williams, the godfather of design subscriptions, to talk about the massive success of his company Designjoy. Brett has figured out a way to turn his one-man design agency into a productized service that grosses over $120K in monthly revenue. If you’re doing the math, that sets him up to do nearly $1.5M per year as a solopreneur. Now, even though I’m a fan of Brett, I went into this interview with a healthy level of skepticism. I mean, Designjoy seems too good to be true right? And it’s fair to say people have pretty strong opinions about Designjoy and Brett’s approach to viral marketing. I’m curious to know what you think after hearing him out.

As a Latinx designer with an illustrious career spanning various high-impact roles—from the co-founder and CEO at Bueno and Blush to his groundbreaking work at Carbon Health, Lyft, InVision, and Udemy—Pablo shares his invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of design in the age of artificial intelligence.

    10: Client Brief: How Pam Meluskey of Settled Launched a Luxury Brand

    (VIDEO PODCAST) Pam Meluskey is the Co-Founder of Settled, a luxury home organization company in New York City on a mission to help their customers "belong with their belongings." But just three years ago, when she was furloughed and unsure of her future, Settled was just a dream she shared with her co-founder Larisa Bright. In this first installment of the "Client Brief" series, I sit down with Pam to talk about her entrepreneurial mindset and discover how she was able to turn her vision into a thriving business. Pam and I have been working together for the last three years, and her approach to brand is exceptional. She understands that resonating with her customers is more than tactics and services, it's about recognizing how they feel and meeting them with a solution. In this episode, we talk about launching a luxury brand, trusting the creative process, understanding your market, and being bold enough to embrace opportunities as you grow.

    09: Matt D. Smith: His Course Became His Full-Time Income

    (VIDEO PODCAST) Today, I sit down with one of my favorite product designers, freelancer Matt D. Smith. I first ran into Matt at Epicurrence in 2016, and I've admired his career trajectory ever since. Matt is a master at the tools of the trade, often posting inspiring tutorials, walkthroughs, and advanced features of new software platforms within days of their release. His seemingly random posts often have a profound influence on the industry - as he recounts how a side hustle changed the way the majority of us now design form fields - or go viral for their perfectly timed humor (did you see his Marc Jacobs-inspired Twitter shirt?). What we talk about the most though, is how Matt conceptualized and developed his industry-leading UI design course, Shift Nudge (shiftnudge.com). From juggling the uncertainties of a freelance career to working with academic advisors, Matt's choice to invest himself in building a modern curriculum has changed design education. With thousands of users, hundreds of positive reviews, and countless success stories, Shift Nudge allows beginners to earn the chops they need to jump-start their product design careers. And it's allowed Matt to replace his full-time income with a project he's passionate about. It's always a pleasure to sit down with someone as driven as Matt D. Smith. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
