The Quickie - Conversations with Designers
Episode 221 - Brittney Knight - Art Director - Illustrator - Brand Designer - Global Sustainability - NIKE - Portland OR.
Today's guest is Brittney Knight. She is an art director, illustrator and currently a brand designer with Nike, Global Sustainability.
During this episode we talk about:
-how she was a "special art student" through highschool and her experiences there.
-the one job that opened her eyes and showed her that design was more than just a logo or something that looked good.
-@timothygoodman and @hangwillisthomas both get props and shout outs in this episode.
-the magazine job that she had, why it was the toughest period of time in her career so far, what she learned from it and how she overcame it.
-an amazing question to ask yourself if you are ever feeling inadequate, feeling that you aren't progressing fast enough, or if you feel like you haven't accomplished enough.
-the Nike Lacross campaign that she was a part of that didn't quite go as planned.
-the design work she did with an agency for SONOS and why she is so proud of it.
I loved the energy and openness that Brittney brought to this conversation. Loads of stories and a dynamite question that I am going to use from now on too! @brittneyknight
