You shouldn't feel stymied because you're using a different medium to communicate.

Works In ProcessMike Nicholls — Nuances of the Black experience.Understand you have value:
As much as is great for (young designers) to have internships at big companies... know that you could also do your own shit too. Have a vision for what you want to do for yourself, and not be so reliant upon working at (any) company. You have all of the options. Your value is not defined by where you work and, if it is—flex that. But know that THEIR value is up because they got you there. That's how you have to see it.

Works In ProcessTerresa Moses — Create with Intention.Creating a style:
I'm very inspired by what Emory Douglass did for the Black Panther Party—being able to use art to share messages, very rapidly. With that idea in mind... if I needed to get a message out rapidly, you know… What does that look like? If I had to get on the computer really quickly and do something digital, and I don't have time what does that look like? So that is often reflected in my work.
That's why clients want to hire us, because of that particular style.
