Episode 234 - Stephen Doulas - Graphic Designer - Chicago IL - @stephendoulas.

This weeks guest is Stephen Doulas. He is a graphic designer based out of Chicago IL.

If I had to pick a theme for this episode it would be "hard work and just keep going".

During this episode we talk about:

-how he came from an artistic creative family and his first day of freshman year.

-how learning about Aaron Draplin @draplin and Jessica Walsh @andwalsh, and both of their work has been influential and inspiring to him.

-his struggle with standing out and finding that first gig.

-the "competition" design project he participated in and how it didn't go well.

-a logo book opportunity that found him and why he is so proud of it.

-his answer to the ask-it-forward question of "if you could thank someone for helping you out or encouraging you in your career that you haven't had the opportunity to thank, who would that be". Great question. Great answer.

Really enjoyed chatting with Stephen about his journey in the creative field and how he kept moving forward. That's what it is folks, keep going.
