About this episode

My guest this week is CJ Cawley. A super talented, kind, fun, energetic and amazing human from the UK. 

During this episode we talk about his journey to freelance design and cooking it up in design school. You'll appreciate that sentence when you listen to the episode ;) 

CJ also shares with us how the skateworld was his gateway to design and what he appreciated about it. He also talks about how breaking things, literally, helped him grow! 

Then into a story about agency life eating away at him and why, and his experience working with a UK resort on a project that never saw the light of day! ahhh! CJ also talks about why he started to share everything along with a whole bunch of other great stories. 

We had a blast in this episode and you will too!
