Introducing the very first episode of the INNER AVENUE Podcast! In this conversation I sat down with Southampton-based Senior Creative Designer David Birch.
Not only is Dave an ex-colleague and good friend, but a talented Creative Designer at a local agency. You might be wondering why I say "creative" and not "Graphic", and the answer lies in the episode itself, on Creative Thinking.
Dave describes himself as a jack-of-all trades but IMO he is mastering one... Authenticity. Personally I admire his ability to hold true on his point of view - as we discuss, a skill every artist will master.
Tune in to hear our conversation on finding your way, why students should prioritise getting out into the world and listen in on over 30 years of foraged wisdom.
