Jason Craig on Why Designers Need to Stop Complaining and Start Creating
Oct 16, 2025
A Graphic Design Podcast that cuts through the industry bull to help frustrated Designers charge what they're worth and build rewarding creative careers

Too many designers are stuck blaming AI, TikTok, and clients. Jason Craig says it’s time to shut up and make better work. In this brutally honest episode, we talk about perspective, perseverance, and purpose in design.

Most designers think the industry’s dying. Jason Craig thinks they’ve just forgotten how good they have it. From designing for the Atlanta Braves to seeing his work blow up on SportsCenter, Jason’s proof that consistency, humility, and showing up still matter more than anything.

In this Special episode of The Angry Designers Live from Crop Con, you’ll discover:

  • Why complaining about AI and trends kills your creativity
  • How showing up every day can open doors you never planned for
  • What “designing for love and longevity” really means
