How I Made it to the NBA – 5 TIPS for Sports Designers!

This video is a little bit different from my usual, but has been requested a bunch over on my instagram so I finally put it together!
I talk about how I made it to the NBA…(as a graphic designer 🎨) and I also give my top 5 tips for making it or progressing in the sports design industry.
This is mainly targeted at freelancers in the sports design world, as thats all I know, but hopefully theres some broader advice that can apply and be helpful yo all kinds of designers.
