22 - Will Paterson: Design Theory & Business through YouTube

In today’s episode, I was able to sit down and talk to designer and hand-letterer, Will Paterson. We talked about Will’s own experience and introduction to design, his transition to YouTube, and the importance of building other designers up and encouraging them to continue learning. With YouTube being the biggest differentiation Will has, we had a chance to dive into how YouTube had benefitted his business and where he sees the channel going in the future. With the goal being to help share his knowledge with other designers, Will has built a following by providing value to the design community. Our conversation was full of really insightful information and I enjoyed having Will on the show.
