S5 E3: Running A Successful Design Business with Neurodivergence with Lea Gucciardi

Neurodivergence is the term for those whose brains function differently in one or more ways than is considered standard or typical. In this episode Lea Gucciardi, the Founder and Creative Director of Arq Design Studio, shares about her journey to becoming a multi-6-figure design studio owner, her experience with ADHD and how it impacts her life and business, her coding background, and her newest offer for designers who are looking to take their Shopify projects to the next level. We are so grateful to Lea for opening up to us and our listeners, and for her vulnerability, strength, and willingness to share her story publicly. It is our hope that through this episode, designers with neurodivergent minds feel less alone and and encouraged by Lea's story of resilience and success.Guest Information:Guest Name: Lea GucciardiGuest Business Name: Arq Design StudioGuest Website: https://www.arqdesign.studio/Guest Instagram: @arqshopifystudioLinks Mentioned:Lea's Shopify Codex CourseMorgan Rapp Design Biz MasterySquarestylist with RacheLinks & Resources from Lea:Youtube communityResources on DiagnosesInstagram communitySuccessful entrepreneurs who are very open about their experiencesPodcast episode worth listening toInbox Question: "What is the best way to overcome imposter syndrome?" — Headlands CreativeSpecial thanks to our producer Jon from Wayfare Recording Co.Connect With Us:Our Free Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/betterbranddesigner/Podcast Website: https://www.betterbranddesigner.comPodcast Resources Page: https://www.betterbranddesigner.com/resourcesPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betterpodcast/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/betterpodcast
