Episode #009 - Eddie Opara

For Episode 9 of the new podcast, our editor-in-chief Matt Alagiah sits down with the multi-faceted graphic designer, Eddie Opara. Eddie is a partner at Pentagram in New York and senior critic at the Yale Institute of Art. We’ll hear about his journey across education, technology, and constructing design identities. We'll also hear how he recovers from projects that go wrong, how Yale helped him become a more cerebral thinker, and the underrated power of the letter e. After that, we head over to Oakland, California to hear about its potential for inspiration from artist and illustrator Jocelyn Tsaih.

This is the show where we talk to leading designers, illustrators, creative directors and photographers around the world about the delights – and dramas – of being a creative. We want to scrub away the Instagram gloss and hear the honest truth from people who have built careers out of their creativity. How do they come up with their best ideas? What’s the secret to staying inspired? And what can we do when our creativity seems to abandon us?
