This week's guest is Connie Lui. She is a Partner, Creative Director, and Designer from Yummy Colours out of New York.
I saw an Instagram post that Yummy Colours shared featuring their most recent Concept of the Year print piece, Dear Future. Turns out it was their third year in a row producing the Contept of the Year projects. And we get to hear stories about how all three projects were brought to life.
From the first Issue and why they decided to bring it to life, the second issue and stories of incredible collaboration at scale, to the most recent issue and how the multi-layer unique effects came to life!

This week's guest is Gene Portnoy. He is the talented creative behind Work and Company. @genepdesign @workandcompany
We did things a little bit differently on this episode. It's a couple of mini conversations put into one. When we first spoke, the project we were talking about was literally at the printers. Like "photos sent of the press sheet that morning" at the printers.
A few weeks later we were able to connect for a wrap-up conversation once he had received his samples and his client had some feedback. Awesome!
The deep dive for this episode is all about the Full Bloom Cannabis packaging project. We talk about the details and story that went into the packaging, the design system created across multiple pieces, as well as the details behind getting things ready for production.
Gene is a very talented designer and creative problem solver and makes for a great conversation. I know you'll dig this one.
