Jessica Ashman is a #BAFTA award winning animator and art educator.

We spoke with Jessica about her incredible journey so far.  You'll learn how to select your next project & manage costs, start (and maintain) a career as a freelance creative, make any job help you reach your goals, work with people you admire and more. As an educator she explained what key messages she passes on to young people studying creative subjects. As a woman of colour she talked about how she uses this to make ground-breaking work, collaborate and support other #woc in the industry. She also reveals her next project that combines her interdisciplinary skills with new mediums - aka future proofing her craft.

We also share how YOU can suggest what we talk about on the show! 

Enjoy your show.

Who are the people (of colour) making Culture in the Craft podcast?

We tell you our podcast origin story with the mission to make creative spaces more diverse spaces. Inspired by going viral, heading to Silicon Valley to represent #womenintech, working on the likes of #BlackMirror or #TheLionKing for clients such as #MarvelStudios, #Disney, #Ebay etc, overcoming #minority parent career expectations, insights from a #WeAreNigerianCreative, the starving artist stereotype, sharing how we're going to help/support you in future episodes and how YOU can suggest what we talk about on the show! 

Enjoy your show.
