In this episode originally posted on my YouTube channel, I talk with CEO and Founder of Blind, Inc and The Futur Chris Do. A true design guru, Chris possesses the perfect unicorn skill set combination of real-world business savvy, design excellence, and branding mastery which he shares with his clients and creative professional audiences around the world.
Show Notes
We discuss his non-linear career path stemming from being exposed to both analytical and creative schools of thought early on in his family life, the importance of a lifetime of learning, and interestingly enough how he and his team landed an interior design job because of a strong sense of story. That last one opens up a multitude of possibilities and challenges the usual perspective on how to get clients.
The Emmy award-winning designer talks in greater detail about the following:
- How to constantly challenge yourself and consistently grow
- The evolving process of branding his personal brand, Blind, Inc, and The Futur
- How he gets clients
- Bulletproofing your creative career
- Tipping the scale between being a Generalist VS Specialist
- How to stay inspired
- Two things that designers or creative people need to possess
- His two personal mantras
