Welcome to The Creative Brief Podcast. Today, you’re in for a real treat.

I sit down with the sensational Amy and Jen Hood of Hoodzpah Design - a boutique brand agency in Southern California with a dream roster of clients including Nike, Disney, Adobe, and SeatGeek. We talk about how they’ve diversified their business with books, courses, fonts, and swag. I ask them how they handle being design influencers, and if they ever get nervous speaking at big events. And they share their secret formula for sparking creativity - which may or may not include Coors Banquet and country music records.

If you haven’t discovered Amy and Jen yet, you’re about to meet your new favorite design duo. And if you are a long-time fan like me, I did my best to dive into topics they don’t usually cover.

It's a great episode, and I'm stoked you're here for it.

In this riveting episode of our podcast, I sit down with Pablo Stanley, a luminary in the world of design and a visionary at the intersection of technology and creativity. As a Latinx designer with an illustrious career spanning various high-impact roles—from the co-founder and CEO at Bueno and Blush to his groundbreaking work at Carbon Health, Lyft, InVision, and Udemy—Pablo shares his invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of design in the age of artificial intelligence.

(VIDEO PODCAST) Pam Meluskey is the Co-Founder of Settled, a luxury home organization company in New York City on a mission to help their customers "belong with their belongings." But just three years ago, when she was furloughed and unsure of her future, Settled was just a dream she shared with her co-founder Larisa Bright.

In this first installment of the "Client Brief" series, I sit down with Pam to talk about her entrepreneurial mindset and discover how she was able to turn her vision into a thriving business. Pam and I have been working together for the last three years, and her approach to brand is exceptional. She understands that resonating with her customers is more than tactics and services, it's about recognizing how they feel and meeting them with a solution.

In this episode, we talk about launching a luxury brand, trusting the creative process, understanding your market, and being bold enough to embrace opportunities as you grow.

(VIDEO PODCAST) Today, I sit down with one of my favorite product designers, freelancer Matt D. Smith. I first ran into Matt at Epicurrence in 2016, and I've admired his career trajectory ever since. Matt is a master at the tools of the trade, often posting inspiring tutorials, walkthroughs, and advanced features of new software platforms within days of their release. His seemingly random posts often have a profound influence on the industry - as he recounts how a side hustle changed the way the majority of us now design form fields - or go viral for their perfectly timed humor (did you see his Marc Jacobs-inspired Twitter shirt?).

In this episode of The Creative Brief, I snag an hour on the calendar of Phil Vangelakos, Managing Partner at Push Digital Group. We discuss the intricate landscape of American politics and the artistry behind managing a top-tier digital agency. Phil comments on Donald Trump's indomitable presence in the Republican primary, and he opens up about the complexities of steering a team of 70 operatives, strategists, and production artists through a high-stakes election cycle.

As a classic "integrator," Phil adeptly transforms visionary ideas into reality. But his introspective nature fuels his need for creative rejuvenation through DJing, reading, and precious moments spent with his wife. Despite the relentless pace of our industry, Phil's unwavering positive energy and passion for his work shine through, even as he navigates the delicate dance of campaign dynamics and the collaborative symphony of political endeavors.

A highlight of our conversation is Phil's captivating recount of how his fascination with UFO/UAP research led to a groundbreaking moment in his career, influencing the disclosure of a government official under oath of extraterrestrial biologics. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for creatives and anyone intrigued by the fusion of leadership, strategy, and the human element in the high-stakes world of politics and digital media. Join me in this enlightening conversation.
