Giant Thinkers Podcast
Ram Castillo is an award winning Designer, Art Director, Blogger, CreativeLive Instructor and Author of the internationally acclaimed book ‘How to get a job as a designer, guaranteed’. He’s based in Sydney, Australia and in 2012, started the blog giantthinkers.com which helps thousands of design students and graduates be employed.
Ram got in touch with me to kick of his new podcast series where he interviews influential designers about their experiences in the creative industry and their philosophies on design. I was flattered and honoured to have been asked to participate.
Here's the blurb from Giant Thinkers:
