Designer Robert Brunner - Make it Meaningful

Robert Brunner founded Ammunition in 2007 to communicate ideas through products, brands, and their surrounding experiences. His work as an industrial designer has spawned numerous brand- defining designs over the past three decades, including his efforts while the Director of Industrial Design at Apple.

Named one of Fast Company’s “Most Creative People in Business,” Robert’s work is included in permanent design collections at MoMA in both New York and San Francisco. He’s the co-author of the book, “Do You Matter? How Great Design Will Make People Love Your Company.”

I managed to catch up with Robert at his San Francisco studio. I hope you’ll find his insights about the intersection of business and art as fascinating as I did.

A big thanks to Robert for joining us this week. You can learn more about him by visiting https://ammunitiongroup.com - And hats off to our talent producer, Kelli Richards, for making the connection.

I’ll be back next time with another artist and the thoughts behind their creations. Until then, this is Derrick Story, the Nimble Photographer, wishing you great success in all your endeavors.

Photographer Trey Ratcliff - "Mix It Up"

Trey Ratcliff is best known for his vibrant landscapes. But he’s also a student of human nature. His photography business is fueled by combining compelling landscapes, with daring post production, and adding a dash of insightful marketing.

On today’s show, Trey shares some of thinking behind this approach. The lessons that he’s learned may help your creative endeavors as well.

Welcome to the Nimble Photographer podcast, hosted by me, Derrick Story. My quest is to find artists who have created their own definition of success. Yes, finances play a role in all of our lives, but are they the only measure? And how can you put a price on the experiences along the way?

Today, we travel to New Zealand via Skype to hear what Trey has to say. Thanks for coming along.
