About this episode

Angry Designer LIVE is event based interview sessions performed with designers, speakers, and guests at Creative events. This series is from Creative South 2024 held in Columbus Georgia.

This episode we feature one of the most truly special guests we've ever had. Joining us is Sophie Mills, the talented founder of @GCGrumpyFrog! 🐸

At just 10 years old, this is Sophies 2nd year at Creative South - not as a guest, but as a vendor! Her Grumpy Frog brand of lovable characters were available as pins, stickers, merch and much more. 

From doodling in procreate to building her Grumpy Frog family, Sophie shares her aspirations for the future and even offers some of the most practical, valuable advice for fellow Graphic Designers.

This episode may be short, but it's packed with sweetness and wisdom you won't want to miss!

Catch it on Apple Podcast, Spotify, YouTube, or click the link in our bio to listen.

Stay Angry our Friends
