What happens when you graduate from design school and realise you’ve technically already been working as a designer for a few years?

This week I’m chatting with graphic designer Morgan Hastie, aka The Logo Lassie, who had graduated just two weeks before we recorded this episode. But while she might be a brand new graduate on paper, Morgan has already been freelancing since 2023 and has worked with brands including Adobe, Uniqlo, Aardman Animations, GF Smith and First Bus.

And, naturally, we somehow end up deep in a conversation about print, packaging, dielines, CMYK and why sending a printer a file they can actually use is quite important. Who knew.

I really hope you enjoy the chat.
