This is also my 80th episode in partnership with The Avail List.

April is a total rockstar whose interview blew me away. She is an artist, designer, teacher, and writer who has a background in architecture, immersive installations, narrative design, and public art.

She loves challenging herself to solve difficult problems, is always learning, works across multiple mediums, and in addition to being a strong conceptual thinker, she also has the hard skills to create with her adobe, 3D, coding & illustration skills.

Outside of her advertising work she started WeirdSideProjects.com where she got famous for guerrilla street art, creating physical street signs with unique quotes, and making Twitter bots. These exhibits/installations were created by April to share certain feelings with the world.

]]> On episode 107 of Bouncing Back, I interviewed Yewa Aloba (she/her) who was most recently a freelance Graphic Designer/Art Director. This is also my 65th episode in partnership with The Avail List.

Yewa loves collaborating and is always looking to create. Her friends even tell her that she’s on her laptop way too much, constantly working.

She’s a poet who has performed at the famous Apollo theatre, is a self-taught designer, loves literature, storytelling, typography, and considers herself way more than just a graphic designer. 

Yewa started off creating album art for her friends and credits her love of networking for being able to pick up more freelance opportunities. She loves work that’s focused on music and social impact and is hungry to hit the ground running.

If you’re looking for someone who isn’t shy to put themselves out there and is constantly hustling, you should 100% reach out to Yewa. hiyewa.com

]]> On episode 49 of Bouncing Back, I interviewed Brian Hunn who was most recently a Group Creative Director at The Lift Agency. This was also my 23rd episode in partnership with The Avail List.

Brian is the real deal. He’s an award-winning writer and strategic thinker who puts results above everything. He leads by example and prides himself on diving into the client's business to fully understand the products, target, and business objectives.

Brian believes in the “we” not “me” approach to tackle projects, and while he may be in a managerial role, he’s never afraid to get his hands dirty, and collaborate with the teams he’s hired to get the job done.

Paul's funny and lighthearted personality alone is a reason to hire him. But if that isn’t enough Paul is an award-winning writer who has mastered the craft of making great work.

He wants to like the people he works with, move away from the BS that waters down creative ideas, and make people laugh again. He strongly believes that our industry needs more farts and monkeys than lofty manifestos - although he'd probably write those too if you ask nicely.

In addition to being a creative, Paul is also a songwriter, a dad, and a pro at bringing big ideas to small screens. You'd regret not reaching out to Paul and putting him to work to help your brand. www.paulsincoff.com
