Episode #14: I'm Listening, But Not Listening
Today, I present to you a podcast from a partner's perspective. My girlfriend (now my fiance) explains how she hears things from me, and I explain them in a way that she understands. Get ready for laughs, happiness, ups & downs, and a lot more laughs.
We had fun recording this episode. This one is a little longer than usual, but it's 100% worth the listen. If you find that you relate to any of these scenarios, send in an audio message (https://anchor.fm/innovativecreativepodcast/message) and I'll air it on the show with us.
Episode #13: Web Design Vs Web Development
Hey everyone! The difference between web design & web development isn't as apparent as one thinks it is. Design and Development are not interchangeable although it does seem that way. James Welbes of Cedar Rapids Web Design helps explain how the two differ and why you need both.

Episode #12: Design. Explain it Like I'm 5
Hey everyone! This episode is about (you guessed it) how design works! I want everyone to have a simple understanding of design. That was the inspiration for this episode. Also, there's a dad joke about whales.
In light of COVID-19, I'm helping people out with their sites. If you have no eCommerce storefront, I have some options for you. I can build your entire site for $500, or I can guide you through it for free. If you're interested, shoot me an email at design@devingreen.me
Episode #11: A Maker's Perspective on Design
Today We're talking with Morgan Adams from Kendrick Forest Products about how designing for a company that makes things impacts her career and her design flow. I'm so glad to have her on the show! She's a photographer, graphic designer, and a hell of a person. You can follow her on Instagram @yourgirlmogo. also make sure to follow @kendrickhome to look at their AWESOME products.
Episode #10: Logo Design
There’s a ton that goes into designing logos. Placement, colors, ideas and creative expression are just a few. We’re gonna be talking about the design and branding process. Basically, how a logo is made, and what goes into a logo. Essentially, a logo is a representation of a brand. It encompasses your vibe, what you do, and how you do it. It’s not too complex, but not too simple either.

Episode #9: Workflows & Routines
Everyone wants to get things done. Sometimes we do get it done and sometimes we don't. As people, we all sometimes fall off the spectrum of productivity. I'm here to help with that. Taking the time out to build a workflow and routine for your days/months/years is essential for keeping on your toes. In this episode, I help you guys do that.
This episode is the last of the year. This also marks 1 year for me. Thank you ALL for listening, sharing, and just being so damn awesome.
