Today's guest is Sean Adams. He is the Chair of the Graphic Design Program at the Art Centre College of Design. He is also a published author, a two-term President of AIGA National, and Founding Partner of Adams Marioka Inc. where he spent over 20 years.
During Part One of this episode we talk about:
-his transition from teaching from agency life.
-his free-spirited creative parents and his grandparents who wanted him to become a Senator and the influence they both played in his life.
-the book that really opened his eyes to design.
-the designer that was really influential to him and was the first call to their office the morning they opened their agency doors.
-his first job at the New York Public Library.
-the Mohawk project that turned out to be the most expensive marketing project they had ever done, and what it did for their business.
Sean has so much experience and you can really hear his passion for design and teaching the next generation of great designers. @seanaadams @aigadesign
