Episode 507 - Reggie Perry Jr.

Revision Path

While the current creative industry tends to favor specialists, multidisciplinary creators like Reggie Perry Jr. know that being a generalist is what truly helps you stand out. He does it all — graphic design, photography, video and audio production, motion graphics and 3D, and a whole lot more! Reggie told me about his work as a media experience designer at The Home Depot, and from there we talked about showcasing his skills through his own agency (Phox and Phoe) along with NYC-based creative and design studio The Future In Black. We also discussed some of his early career work for agencies, and he shared his tips on balancing creative work with family, as well as how he handles burnout and stays motivated to create so many self-initiated projects. According to Reggie, with a plan and hard work, you can accomplish your creative goals. Now that’s some great advice! ========== For extended show notes, including a full transcript of this episode, visit https://revisionpath.com. ========== DONATE: For 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.
