Name Your Layers
By Big Fan of Ideas
A podcast where I talk to fellow designers and chat all things branding and design. We cover their background and sometimes their non-linear path to becoming a designer.
This podcast doesn’t require a design degree. You don’t have to have a favorite font and you don’t even have to be a designer to listen. Come for the conversation but stay for the good vibes.

Episode 6: Arwa Lucky
Welcome to episode 6 of Name Your Layers. Today on the podcast we have Arwa Lucky. Arwa is a designer with so many good stories and insights. She does a lot of Upwork projects (yes there are stories on these too) and she has a refreshing take on *all the things* and it's arguably one of my favorite episodes to date. Please listen and enjoy another episode where I bring up Figma vs. Adobe and I talk about my favorite book of all time.
PS: We also talk about how to handle client facebook and the advice is decent if I say so myself :)
