Listen Later

Today's guest is Matthew Clark. He is the Founder and Creative Director at Subplot in Vancouver BC. *Full Disclosure, this episode is more of a Quickie-ish, but its soooo worth it*

During this episode we talk about:

-how design was not his original career path.

-the one question he was asked that changed the course of his career and direction he was going in. 

-how he entered the design field with a really unique set of skills but still managed to get hired.

-his love for print, packaging, and stamp design. 

-a story about a business that had great founders, great product, loads of PR right out the gate, but design can't save everything. 

-his struggle with the Creative Director / Designer balance and how it can be a tough change for talented designers to move into the CD role. 

There is so much more in this episode for you. Subplot design is an incredible studio with a wide variety of clients including Canada Post. They are behind the fairly recent Apollo11 stamp design too. Matthew is super open about his journey and the lessons he has learned. Loads of knowledge bombs and stories in this one! Enjoy!
