Justin Roach is a graphic designer who works with global artists such as Snoop Dogg and The Game. In 2016, he and Joe Cool worked together to create the album covers for Snoop's " Coolaid" and The Game's "1992." Outside of his freelance graphic design work, Justin works as the social media coordinator and designer for Wayne Bank in Scranton, Pa. He was recently named Happenings Magazine's Best Artist in Northeast PA.
I connected with Justin through Facebook. I'm pretty sure we linked through Randyland. (who I previously did a podcast with). I saw Justin's work and figured he would be a great guest for the podcast, but also reached out to see if he'd be up for working on a new podcast logo for Chillin with Deke. The new logo is in progress and I'm really looking forward to seeing it. As for now, you can listen to the podcast below. I hope you guys enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
