How do you Work in Asia? And Are Side Projects Good? with Canadian-Egyptian Creative Ibraheem Youssef
In this episode of Nonnative Creative, Toronto-based Ibraheem Youssef shares about how his road to becoming a creative director (though now he calls himself simply a "creative"). Beginning with the story of his Egyptian-Canadian upbringing, we hear about how Ibraheem started drawing comics for friends and family in his childhood, how he designed a logo for a community member, and eventually attended design school before moving to Asia to work with clients from Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta, and more. He explains the challenges of finding a job in Asia (and how he overcame them), and also shares great advice for how to make your work stand out, how much energy you should put into pursuing awards/professional recognition, and why he feels someone with a variety of side projects is probably a person who knows how to think a little differently.
