Why Should You Watch This Podcast? | EP000

Welcome to the very first episode of Sticky Notes - the unfiltered podcast for creative professionals, where we ungatekeep the arts of our careers nobody talks about but everyone goes through.

In this episode, Jack Chitty and I sit down after a long day of building this podcast from scratch (literally by hand) and talk about why we’re even doing this.

We get into:

👉 Why running a freelance graphic design business can feel so lonely

👉 The importance of having someone in your corner

👉 Why there’s no “right way” to build a design career

👉 The problem with gatekeeping in the creative industry

👉 And why we wanted to create a space that’s more honest, raw, and human

This is just the start. Future episodes will dive into topics like finding clients, pricing, burnout, self-doubt, and everything in between.

If you're a graphic designer, brand designer, or creative professional, you’re in the right place.
