What happens when your vision is too big for an elevator pitch? In this episode, we welcome Brooklyn-based brand designer and illustrator Laci Harmon, whose creative path has been anything but traditional. From growing up unschooled in rural Vermont to building a self-taught design business in NYC, Laci shares the honest, often chaotic truth of chasing a creative life without a roadmap. We talk about the terror of starting before you’re ready, the emotional weight of imposter syndrome, and how to keep moving even when perfectionism tells you to pause. This one’s for the big-dreamers, late-starters, and multi-hyphenates trying to birth something entirely new.
