There are times in life when we feel lost and filled with fear but looking back on our journey can reveal how far we've come. We often wish we could go back in time to show ourselves some more self compassion and give ourselves a huge pep talk. This episode we are winging it with Toby James. Toby is a junior designer at HarperCollins Publishers. As well as book design, Toby has many other skills as a designer which he explored whilst freelancing and in his educational creative practice. In this episode, Toby reflects on his creative journey so far and opens up about the challenges of anxiety, internships and finding your voice as a designer. We also discuss the publishing industry, job competition and ways to wind down from a busy world of work. This is an amazing episode full of honesty and reassurance.
