Melinda Livesy is a graphic designer turned brand strategist. She is the co-host of TheFutur, the lead strategist at RadCat Design, and founder of Marks and Maker.
In this episode we talk about the importance of intentionality, the difference between being and “order taker” and a strategist, getting “paid to think,” the impact of having a mentor… and of course how she got connected with Chris Do.
