Design Beat

In this heart-full episode we’re excited to be talking to Jenna AKA Lady Bright of Lady Bright Studios. She’s a muralist, painter, and bright color exploratory artist and sketchbook master with the biggest heart and funnest personality. Like both Lauren and I she hails from the great state of Utah and is calling in from her garage studio.

We talked about what truly drives her creativity, what it’s like trying to balance being a mom and wanting to design all the things all the time, and her experience becoming a muralist. Bonus: She shares her tried and true “best thing” you can do to develop your own personal style, and it’s good.

We’re honored to have heard her story and can’t wait for you to hear it too! 

A teeny tiny disclaimer, it was our second episode ever and we had technical difficulties, so the audio isn’t as good as we’d like it to be. BUT we promise the story is so, so worth it. The name of the tightrope walker artist is still unknown—will update when I figure it out.

Do-Hee is a self-taught, Korean-American designer of 8 years. She is the co-founder and web design partner at Shoppe Theory, a boutique design studio specializing in creative solutions for retail businesses. A fan of color, typography, and labors of love -- Do-Hee is based in San Francisco (but calling in from New York today!). In this interview we find out out how Do-Hee went from getting a double major in history and studio art to becoming the co-founder and web design partner of a design studio when a creative career was NOT on her radar. 

Some other topics we cover include: working for a start-up , pursuing interests outside of work, managing a team and the one word they watch out for as a red flag when vetting clients! I am so excited for you to hear this interview, there is SO much good advice especially for anyone interested in pursuing a career in design or specifically web design.

Hey! I'm Lauren Kunz, a surface pattern and web designer, and I'm Steph, a do-everything-creative graphic designer, and we're both fans of connecting those who are doing it with those who want to be doing it and sharing all the knowledge. Here on the Design Beat podcast we interview inspiring creative women in the design field to share their stories and encourage others to GO FOR IT. 

In this episode we do some quick "favorites" questions and talk a little bit about who we are, what we do, why we started the podcast, and one important thing about social media that we find a little sad but also a little bit awesome. 

And while this episode is a more casual and, let's be honest, LOL-y than our normal interviews, we're excited to be here and hope to see you around for future episodes. Keep doing what you're doing and designing to the beat of your own drum—we're here to cheer you on.
