As a fellow self taught designer, Alyssa’s advice is spot on! She’s covered a great range of topics from the legal side of things, to mindset and client management, to creativity and marketing and so much more! Relatable, authentic, inspiring, checks all the boxes! I’ll always support content that inspires creatives to actually follow their passions rather than take a traditional “safe” route! @empowerwithem

I am a self taught designer who is in the process of launching my design studio and am constantly on the hunt for ways to educate myself and connect with others leading the charge in the industry. And holy moly, y’all. Alyssa’s podcast is WHERE. IT’S. AT. I am legit binging them (like, several a day!), and cannot get enough. They are relatable, applicable, practical, encouraging, uplifting, and make me feel known and understood and seen right where I am while also providing a clear path forward that feels attainable. It’s like I’m having coffee with my close friend, while also getting mentorship, and simultaneously being educated in such a tangible and practical way. I cannot say enough good things. Thank you, Alyssa! I’m such a HUGE fan of yours! And am inspired by and so moved by your story, and the path you are making for yourself and so many other women of color! You are INCREDIBLE!!!

I discovered Alyssa on Tiktok, seen how she and her work blew up made me feel SUPER inspired… but then and found her content on insta and this podcast and it made me feel MOTIVATED to start working on my own design business. She is so authentic and has successfully created a community of creatives that feel empowered and motivated, and SHE gives amazing tips about everything!

I love this podcast so much cause it feels like me speaking. It’s so real and so raw and I appreciate Alyssa so much for sharing these tips and experiences!

Love your content on every level!!! You give me so much inspiration and information for my own designing goals/small business. Keep on doing what you’re doing! You’re amazing!

Alyssa's transparency and work ethic has always been so admirable to me. Truly honored and grateful that she's shared such a needed resource with the design community. She's living testament of the fact that you don't need a design degree from a prestigious art school to begin doing work in the field!

It’s real it’s relatable and she’s a design queen! I just graduated with a bachelors degree in graphic design and I’ve learned more about being a freelancer and running my own business from this podcast than I did in school! She’s inspires me to create art that makes me happy and I’m so glad I came across her page and podcast

I really appreciate Alyssa’s transparency in sharing her experience in the brand designer world. As a WOC in this industry as well, having a peer that is open about what they’re going through is a helpful reminder that I’m not alone. Thanks for sharing your insight!

Found Alyssa on TikTok and I love her content and work! And her podcast is no different 😌❤️ can’t wait for more episodes!

I’m a sucker for a design podcast and Alyssa delivers! It feels like I’m just on a phone call with a pal, and we are chatting away. She’s so relatable and super inspiring! Keep the episodes coming!!!!!!! 🥰

I’m an avid podcast listener and this is by far one of my favorites already. Alyssa does such a wonderful job of giving an honest look into what it’s like to start your own design studio and business. Wow I can’t wait for more episodes!

I’m so ready to learn more from Alyssa and to see what else she has up her sleeve for this podcast! She does so much between school, her design clients, and now this podcast! She’s doing it!
