Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Jason Naylor.
Jason is an award-winning artist and designer based in NYC. He is known for his bright colors and even brighter messages. His work has received tons of awards and recognition, including the Golden Novum Design award and two CLIO Fashion&Beauty Bronze medals. He has also been featured on HGTV and the Discovery Channel.
In 2018, Jason was named by BUMBLE as one of the 100 Most Inspiring New Yorkers, and his colorful creations have found partnership with brands like Coach, Guess, Pepsi, and Maybelline. Jason’s mission is to spread color and positivity across the globe. His brightly colored designs and positive words reflect his zeal for life, his quest for joy and his love of LOVE.
In this episode Jason and I discuss:
- The ways his book is a visual version of the perfect mixed tape.
- How negative space and imagination work together to create a story.
- Why people see the same colors differently (hint: it’s rooted in science!).
Plus, his #1 tip for writers.
