Is it profane? Is it irreverent? Why not both! Jen Wick (Creative Services Manager at the Port of Portland) joins Sean to talk about the gateway drug that is Sassy magazine, waxing your layouts, and the lessons life teaches us about futility and precarity. Get ready for a rude awakening!

You can find Jen Wick’s work on her freelance studio website, fortwick.com. You can also see her team’s work across the Port of Portland’s properties, including the newly revamped Portland International Airport.

Apologies for the occasional audio glitch in this episode—rest assured that I’m doing my best to find a way to fix this in future, up to an including possibly buying a new computer. Unrelatedly, now is a great time to remind folks that I do have a “Buy Me A Coffee” link to offer small donations to support the show if you can. Even a dollar or two helps!

ONE LAST REMINDER! Fontroversy, our sister podcast produced with the students of Sean’s DES 399 Public Design Communication class at PSUGD last year, is producing a live episode for this year’s fully-online AIGA Design Conference!

The only way to see the show is to attend the conference, and you can do so online from anywhere in the world—head on over to the AIGA’s website, aiga.org, to register today!
