Hey, everyone! I'm Jag Talon, and you're listening to Friends Talk Frontend—a podcast where we talk to amazing people about their habits, how they got to where they are now, and what their day-to-day life is like.

Today I interview Rachel Nabors who, as you might know, is really big in the web animation world. She's written a book called Animation at Work, and she's also published two online courses on her website: One is Web Animation Essentials and the other is Practical Cartooning for Technical Folk.

There is a bunch of echo in this recording, and I apologize for that. But if you're into web animations, comic books, and J-Pop, you won't regret sticking around.

I really enjoyed having Rachel as a guest in this show, and was super grateful for me to be a guest in her home as well. Aside from getting a sneak peek into her life in Seattle, I enjoyed listening to her because the breadth of knowledge that she has in tech is incredible.

I also admire that she's someone who's successfully jumped from one career to another which really shows how much work she puts in in everything that she does.

Show notes

Today we'll be talking to Antoinette Janus who is a web developer and designer at PBS Kids and who's also a co-organizer of CodePen DC. Make sure to listen to this episode because Antoinette has a lot to say about art and how it all mixes in with her work on the web. She also talks about what it's like to work at a non-commercial organization and also her humble beginnings making occasional boyband sites on Angelfire.

#22: Amber Stickel Nov 14, 2017

Show notes

Check out our new episode with Amber Stickel! We have a brand-new format as well so tell me what you think!

Amber is a designer and developer who was actually working for IBM at the time of this recording. Now, she is a design technologist at Indeed; the job search company.

I wanted to talk to her because I was curious how a large company like IBM deals with the web today. What I love most about this interview is listening to her gush over creating designs and bringing them to life. She has a gift for making web development fun so don't miss out on this episode.
