The Quickie - Conversations with Designers

Episode 116 - Josh Sullivan, Founder and Creative Director at Fried Design Co. in Springfield MO


Listen Later

Today's guest is Josh Sullivan. He is the Founder and Creative Director at Friend Design Co. in Springfield MO. 

During this episode we talk about:

-how he got into design in an effort to get into the music industry. However, music didn't look so hot at that time so he U-turned back and doubled down on Design.

-how it was gig posters, movie posters, and album art that really ramped up his love for design.

-the Austin Screen Printing Co-Op...sounds amazing!

-why he ended up spending 4 months with a laptop and an air mattress just creating and learning.

-a project he was a part of where after spending thousands on travel and photoshoots was ultimately rejected and forced to change direction. 

-a tool he uses that has never been mentioned on the show before. 116 episodes in and it is finally mentioned!

Josh is a great guy and is really easy to talk to. He was so comfortable that he was drinking a beer during the interview. Unfortunately, I couldn't join him with that! He also asks a great "ask it forward question" for my next guest. @frieddesignco
