In this episode, we turn the mic on our very own co-host Kristian Shepherd - to unpack the wild journey from having no clue what to do with his life…to becoming a graphic designer working in New York City.Kristian shares how one tutor changed everything, how studying at UCLAN opened his eyes to the world of clever, witty ideas, and how that obsession took him from university to top agencies like Turner Duckworth and B&B Studio, with stops at JKR, WMH&I and more.Since uni, Kristian set two goals:1. Work at Turner Duckworth2. Move to NYC.He's now done both.We get into what it really takes to move to New York as a designer, what working at Pearlfisher is like, and all the lessons (and L's) along the way.This one’s honest, reflective, and proof that the hustle pays off. Slowly, then suddenly.
