Episode 048 - Nick Mann - How to find your passion

Hi, I'm Nick Mann, a Graphic/Web Designer.

But when you get right down to it, I'm much more — I'm a marketer, a motivator, a blogger, and an amateur astronomer (ask me anything about Mars, space, and Neil deGrasse Tyson).

I'm also a big believer in the power of branding.

Branding is what makes us believe in products and services. When we see it, we recognize what impact it has in our lives because we buy on a desire to make life easier.

And so I create visual experiences to create that reaction. I create brands for business owners, non-profits, and dreamers, seeking how to communicate their service & products in memorable, engaging, and high personality ways, so that they will attract the right audiences and move them toward their goals.
