325: Chanel James

What does the "middle" of a designer's career look like? Does the "middle" exist outside of a corporate company's career ladder? I examine these questions and more with this week's guest, the one and only Chanel James. As a designer for EAB, Chanel works on production and design and for a number of different projects, all with the goal of making education smarter and our communities stronger.

Chanel talked about what attracted her to work for EAB, and also spoke on her work with AIGA DC on their board of directors. We also discussed the South and design, how she acquired a love for illustration from a popular kid's television show, and yes, we went into the mid-career designer topic I mentioned earlier. Chanel lives by the motto "make it pretty", and no matter her role or profession, she definitely brings the skills and experience to the table that make her motto a fact!
