Episode 101 - Nick Stewart, Vanguard Design Co in Bellingham WA

Today’s guest is Nick Stewart from Vanguard Design Co in Bellingham WA. Everyone once and a while I like to have a guest on the show that is about 3-4 years into their design career out of school. You know, hear what the kids are doing these days. 

During this episode we talk about:

-how Nick is working hard to build his freelance career while also working a part time job while his wife is in school. 

-his first design job right out of school, what he did there, and what ended up happening there. 

-a recent project that he worked on for one of his favourite rappers, and how that opportunity came his way. 

-how social media is an amazing tool for reaching out to people or brands that otherwise would be out of reach. 

-his answer to Aaron Draplins ask-it-forward question. 

I really enjoyed hearing Nick’s story and the reality of working on building a freelance side hustle while paying the bills. Keep up the hustle Nick! @vanguarddesignco
