Hello and welcome back to another episode of Her HypeSquad with Bosstrack!
In this episode I talk with Courtlyn Jones, a graphic designer, visual artist and founder of The Design Database.
Courtlyn and I talk for a little bit about challenges she faced in the workplace as a creative and then move on to how she’s building connection and community with her startup. She offers tips on networking and provides some great advice for finding happiness in your life.
About Courtlyn:
Courtlyn Jones is a NYC-based graphic designer and visual artist. And she’s the founder of The Design Database —— a women-owned, leading membership-based marketplace. and community for female and non-binary freelance Creatives working in visual arts.
As a Creative herself, she understands the struggles of feeling under appreciated in the workplace.
She left her 9 – 5 job to not only build her dream career, but to help other artists do the same.
Her platform bridges the gap in gender parity by providing a safe space for female artists to meet higher-quality clients, connect with fellow Creatives to build community and gain mentorship, and SELL their physical artwork to new customers.
To really understand what the Design Database is, just Think Fiverr meets Vistaprint!

(A quick note about the audio and video for this podcast, we experienced some last minute drilling on the floor above us, so I had to move the recording outside - which means our connection wasn’t 100%. Just wanted to explain the audio along with any dogs or voices you might hear in the background.)
I hope you enjoy this conversation with my friend and founder, Courtlyn Jones.
