Loading player...
📢📌 Most creatives, in the course of their careers, will have to formulate and market some form of personal brand. But how do you position yourself to find the right path, and find the right people to walk it with you? How do you make sure what you’re contributing feels fresh and original? Join us for this thought-provoking episode as musical artist Mandisi Mafu (Digital Sangoma) and designer Rucita Vassen (Ananta Design Studio) share their unique – and quite different – approaches and journeys as creatives. Our guests discuss their process, their challenges, and their advice for emerging artists and entrepreneurs in the creative space, showing there is no “right” way to do it. Only the way that is right for you.
