I'm Interviewed on Making Creative Matter


My main man Donovan Beery and I were interviewed on the Making Creative Matter website for their 29 Questions segment. Usually these are written stories but they decided to leap into our world and record it — what follows is a tables-turning take on our lives as designers, what fuels us, how we approach our work, and how we stay creative. It's a little zany, I will tell you it gets more than a little nerdy when they start asking about what old-school toys and video games I'm into. They also get us to give actual, serious answers to the question: who's the best designer in Omaha? The answer may shock you!

We also talk a lot about our lives over at 36 Point, and what goes into both 1PT.Rule and The Reflex Blue Show. Big, big thanks to Justin Ahrens and the folks at Making Creative Matter and Rule29. Hugs —

from Nate Voss to you.
