  • Reading The Scariest Confessions of Designers with Craig Reid

    It’s the Halloween Special 👻

    This week, I’m joined by Craig Reid; Scottish designer, art school student, and certified chaotic good for a Halloween episode full of creative horror stories and designer confessions that’ll make your blood run cold.

    It’s part nightmare fuel, and part group chat energy, so if you’ve ever felt like your creative horror story belongs in a Halloween movie, this episode is for you.
