Episode 136 - Ben Connolly, Angel & Anchor, Final Final, Belfast Ireland

Episode #136

Today's guest is Ben Connolly. He is the founder and creative director of Angel & Anchor in Belfast Ireland. He is also part of Final Final which is a studio supply brand for designers. 

During this episode we talk about:

-his creative child hood and his calling to design.

-how he didn't follow that calling and went into youth work instead.

-the circumstances of him getting out of youthwork and finally into the design and creative field his gut had been yelling at him to do. 

-the challenges he faced with the change and struggles with starting a studio. 

-how he manages the variability of work coming into the studio. 

-the coffee and donut shop project he is proud to have been a part of and why. 

I really enjoyed chatting with Ben and earing about his winding journey into the creative field. It was also great to connect with someone in Belfast as my guest from Episode 24 - Scarlett Aubrey recently packed up from Vancouver and moved there. @benconnolly @angelandanchor @finalfinalbrand @yearofdoing
