Charl Laubscher On Digital Design

1h 26m · OnProcess · 10 Mar 06:40

Charl is the founder and creative director of the renowned digital focussed agency Love & Money. During our conversation Charl breaks down some fascinating methodology around digital design like atomic design and memetics that, let's be honest, most of which goes way over my head, but is super fascinating nonetheless. We talk about how swiftly kicking your ego out the door might be the most beneficial thing you do in your creative process. Our conversation takes us into the intriguing ethos behind the agency which is the phrase: Always In Beta. Charl walks us through the iterative heavy process they go through while dishing out some truth and busting a few myths that have overstayed their welcome in the design community. We even discuss Charl's quite involved and optimized morning routine for getting to deep work and being a less horrible, more creative person throughout the day.

Kyle Steed On Art (Round 2)

The wise, intentional, creative and incredibly heartfelt Kyle Steed is back with us for a round 2 interview! We we were able to go a bit deeper in this one having set things up last time to talk about the muse, creative resistance, whether inspiration exists and beyond. Kyle takes us through the twists and turns of his creative career including his time in the airforce. We uncover some very interesting thoughts around self belief, internal narrative and how this shapes how we view ourselves. And perhaps my favourite part of the whole chat, equally enjoyable and uncomfortable, we get into paradoxes of life, art and beyond. Kyle has this great ability to very quickly get to the heart of an idea and bring everything back in perspective that I admire, so enjoy this chat with Kyle Steed, again.
