Saying Yes, Honoring Mentors, Pay What You Want
Jody Collins is a Knoxville born and bred creative with a streak of stubbornness he’ll not only own up to but probably credit with a lot of his success. With a background in old-school visual design and printing, he’s equally comfortable maintaining and operating a giant press or figuring out how to make his clients look good with designed collateral, social media savvy or even copywriting.
I met him 10+ years ago when he held an AIGA leadership role, then kept bumping into him around town or hearing him referenced by other designers .
I enjoyed hearing how a solo creative made it through the quarantine, and about his ambitious plans for the future.
SHOW NOTES:
Jody gets the award for most meticulously crafted show note links ever. Above and beyond, brother!
