100: Sarah Huny Young Oct 12, 2015

Show notes

For Revision Path's 100th interview, I had the opportunity to talk with design powerhouse Sarah Huny Young. Huny's portfolio speaks for itself, and she's done next-level design work for big entertainment brands like VIBE Magazine and BET. Currently, she's the founder of Supreme Clientele, a design agency in Pittsburgh, PA that has done work for award-winning websites like VSB, Soulbounce, The Curvy Fashionista, and the Women's Freedom Conference.

Our conversation touched on so many things -- entrepreneurship, the design process, visibility, mentorship...you name it. You'll just to settle in and press play and soak it all up. It's truly one of the best interviews I've done to date, and I'm so glad to have the chance to talk with one of my personal design heroes. Here's to 100 episodes of the Revision Path podcast!

099: Marsha Mothersill Oct 05, 2015

Show notes

Marsha Mothersill wears a lot of hats -- web developer, business owner, project manager -- and she loves it! Marsha comes from a family of entrepreneurs, and she has a real knack for web development and solving big problems.

We talked about the design work she's done around London, how and why she took the leap into starting her own business, her love for automobiles, and
the advocacy work she does for sickle cell anemia awareness. It's a really great interview, and Marsha is a true inspiration. Next week -- episode 100!

098: Vanessa French-Harris Sep 28, 2015

Show notes

I met Vanessa French-Harris when I spoke in Raleigh this month for the Hopscotch Design Festival. We spoke a bit before and after my talk, and I knew she would be fantastic to have on the show. Currently, she's the graphic design manager at Meredith College, and she has decades of experience in this industry.

We talked about her time at Parsons in NYC and her work in the NYC design scene, her illustration work, and her priceless advice for designers in the field right now. I'm so glad I had the chance to connect with Vanessa, and I think you'll get a lot of gems out of this interview. Enjoy!

Show notes

This week, we're heading down to Trinidad and talking with Jeunanne Alkins, the creative powerhouse behind Everything Slight Pepper and ESPjr, a design studio specializing in Caribbean-themed content for children. From apparel to graphic design to animation, Jeunanne really does it all.

We talked about how Jeunanne got started in the field of design, the creative community in Trinidad, the notion of a Caribbean design aesthetic, and a lot more. I have a feeling you'll be seeing and hearing more from Jeunanne in the future. Grab a doubles with "everything slight pepper" and enjoy!

Show notes

I'm so glad I had the chance to talk with Temi Adeniyi, a London-born product designer currently in Berlin. (It's my first German interview!) Temi is the lead designer at Blinkist, a service that distills over 1000+ non-fiction books down to easily digestible synopses.

We talked about both the London and Berlin creative scenes, diversity in design in Germany, Temi's penchant for self-initiated projects, and she shared some great advice for people who want to get into design. Learn more about Temi and her work in this week's interview!

095: Alicia Carr Sep 07, 2015

Show notes

I'm starting September off with the inspiring Alicia Carr. Alicia is an iOS mobile engineer and the founder and CEO of The Purple Pocketbook, the first domestic violence mobile app in the state of Georgia. Alicia began coding at 51, and her work was even highlighted during this year's WWDC live feed. Impressive!

We spoke about her app, her work with Women Who Code, the WWDC experience, and her future goals and plans. Alicia has such an upbeat and positive spirit, and I think you'll really fall in love with her and her story. I know I'm definitely motivated by what she's accomplished, and I think you will be too!

094: Denise Nicole Francis Aug 31, 2015

Show notes

To cap off the month, I'm talking with full-stack designer Denise Nicole Francis. Her journey into the world of the Web by way of architecture and fashion design might sound a little odd, but she's picked up some serious skills along the way, including studying under design great Massimo Vignelli!

We talked about the work she's doing at General Assembly, discussed some of her design inspirations, and she shared how she ended up as creative director for a Grammy Award-winning artist! Denise's positive attitude and sunny outlook on life is definitely an inspiration. Big thanks to Jarrett Coger for the introduction!

093: Pamela Assogba Aug 24, 2015

Show notes

If there's one word that I would use to describe Pamela Assogba, it would be ambitious. Originally from Dakar, Senegal, Pamela's love for knowledge brought her here to Washington, DC, and she studied architecture and fashion design before settling into web development. Now, she's a full-stack engineer for Vox Media and an instructor for General Assembly teaching courses on front-end web development.

We talked about the lessons she's learned since becoming a web developer, what keeps her motivated and inspired, the state of diversity in the tech industry, and some insight into the tech scene in Dakar. Pamela also had some great advice for new coders -- have fun with it! (I totally agree.) Without further ado, here's Pamela! Enjoy!

091: Ire Aderinokun Aug 10, 2015

I had a blast chatting with Ire Aderinokun, a UI designer and front-end developer in Lagos, Nigeria. You may have seen Ire mentioned on CSS-Tricks for her writings over at Bits of Code, a blog she created for self-taught web developers.

We talked about what Ire's learned since launching Bits of Code, how she got into web development after getting degrees in psychology and law, the booming tech and startup scene in Lagos, polyphasic sleep, and her advice for budding developers. Keep an eye out for Ire!
