33: Derek Friday

Welcome to the Creative South Podcast! I’m your host, Jason Frostholm. My guest this week is Derek Friday, an environmental graphic designer based out of Boulder, Colorado and Hamburg, Germany. We talk about how he shifted from essentially getting a degree in architecture into doing environmental graphic design, moving around and splitting his time between the US and Germany, and the importance of relationships and collaboration, all right after this.

Big news on the Creative South front, if you are listening to this on release day — today, Monday, September 15th at Noon Eastern Time — Love is Blind tickets go on sale. There are only 125 if them and last year they sold out in a little over an hour. These early bird tickets are $175, that’s $125 less than what the full price tickets will cost when the go on sale. So, set the alarm on your phone, wake up early if you are on the West Coast, get your debit card ready and pick up your Creative South 2017 Love is Blind tickets before they’re gone.
