Today, I sit down with award-winning artist Jason Chuang who talks us through his journey from Taiwan to the UK, and how he has shifted into illustration, alongside the behind-the-scenes of his artistic process. We dive into his inspirations, cultural background, as well as how his life experiences have shaped him including his 4-month military experience which informed his first graphic novel. This was a super interesting conversation and I’m happy to hiatus the podcast on this episode.

Today's guest talks about her passion for animation which determined the course of her career. Maryam Moustafa is our first guest from the Middle East who describes how her love for the industry stemmed from an early age when she was dead set on becoming an animator. We spoke about how the animation scene in the middle east is still in it's infancy and what gaps there are in the creative industries in this region.  In fact I think Maryam's story and her persistence is in and of itself very inspiring and sounds somewhat like the start of a hero story hmm...to find out more about animation, interactive design and freelancing in the Middle east, please enjoy this episode with Maryam Moustafa.
