Today's guest is Rebecca Cohen. She is the Creative Director, Designer, and Principal at Co Projects Design in Portland OR.

During this episode we talk about:
-her childhood and how she was introduced to exploring creativity by her aunt.
-her move from NY to Portland to work with Nike and meeting her husband there.
-the wild ride of a story that takes them through new baby, recession, and starting a studio together.
-how she is an activist against gun violence and the ways she is using her design skills to further those causes.
-the Feminst activist podcast she co-hosts called End Times Pep Talk.
-print and packaging and their relevance even in this digital world. 
-a project she was incredibly proud to be a part of that aligned with her beliefs, and her heart. 
-turning down client work when they have messaging, or sell products that don't align with your values and the causes you support. 

I found this interview incredibly motivating and Rebecca's passion for the causes she supports and her activism work is exciting to hear about. Go check out their incredible work and @co_projects
