What happens when an illustrator discovers they're awesome at finding clients for other illustrators? For Darren Dilieto, it sparked a 20-year journey building Hireillo, a revolutionary platform connecting illustrators with clients while challenging industry norms.

Darren's story begins in the early 2000s before social media existed, when he created a popular blog called The Little Chimp Society as a central hub for illustrators. Recognizing his talent for networking and connecting artists with opportunities, he transformed this foundation into a membership-based community that offers a refreshing alternative to traditional agencies taking 30% of artists' earnings.

Every creative career has humble beginnings. For videographer Marcus Brooks, it was a Sony Ericsson flip phone with a basic video editor that sparked a lifelong passion.

Today on the podcast, I have Emily Schofield-Seddon!

Emily is a Seamstress and prepper for a large fashion house in the Northern Quarter in Manchester.  She also designs and makes cases for inhalers, epi-pen pouches and crutch covers, and currently has her commissions open! 

Needless to say, Emily and I go off on several tangents, unlocking fashion faux pas along the way! (Sorry mum, the ponchos have to go!)
