There's nothing like having a career chat over a glass of wine.  In this episode, I launch a Career Happy Hour segment kicking it off with a Graphic Designer and long time friend Joe Valenzuela.  

Joe talks to us about his career journey from Milwaukee to Chicago and how he has navigated his career in the creative industry.  Our topics of conversation include:

• His first job and how he leveraged his Spanish skills working for a bilingual community newspaper
• How he networked his way into the field
• How he bounced back from a lay off and used that time to refocus his career
• Tips on staying competitive as a graphic designer
• How to pave a career into the industry
• His creative outlet (Barbies!)
• His freelance work and tips for people interested in doing freelance
