During this episode we talk about:

-design for an F1 team and what is included in all that. 

-how his original creative direction was architecture and how he ended up making the pivot. 

-how a sign shop going out of business lead him to specialize in motorsports design where he has been for 16 years. 

-how the design of 1 particular car was influential to him in his career. 

-the time in his career when he went from design team, to solo designer and how that adjsutment went for him. 

-a large event logo that he designed and why he is so proud of it. 

Of course there is loads more in this episode. I'm a "car guy" so I really enjoyed chatting about motorsports design and what that category of design actually looks like. Great conversation!
