In this episode, we chat with Jared Nickerson, a multifaceted creative who started with intricate vector art and evolved into a world-class shoe designer and creative director for major brands like Brooks and Under Armour. Jared shares how he leverages artificial intelligence as a tool to refine his ideas and enhance his creative process. We also dive into his other passion—his band, The Dead Astronauts—and how he collaborates with bandmates across international borders. Plus, Jared opens up about life in nature, finding a place to call home, and his deep love for dogs. The episode’s illustration was inspired by Jared’s playful, energetic vector art, his wonderful beard, and his band. It’s a tribute to all the creative ideas he brings to life.
