We are thrilled to welcome the multifaceted Sofie Lee, a designer, illustrator, art director, and storyboard artist with an inspiring journey to share. We delve into her transition from South Korea to Vancouver, LA, to SCAD, and ultimately establishing herself in the world of freelancing. We'll discover how a visit to the digital media building at SCAD led her to switch her major to motion media design and how this transition opened up a new world of self-expression for her.  We also discuss the profound impact of parenthood on career and worldview. Through her own experiences, she underscores the importance of creating spaces for those who break from the mold, and the evolution of her communication techniques. We wrap our chat by reflecting on the creative industry's specialist and generalist roles, the unique opportunities they present, and the inherent challenges.   Discussion Points:  Sophie’s background and journey to finding community and inspiration  Exploring the power of motion design  Transition from school to the working world  Growth through learning  Parenting's impact on career and empathy  Challenges of aging parents and work  Creating space for diversity and inclusion  Cultural differences and workplace etiquette  Career skills and understanding growth  Impact of collaboration in art  Resources: Sofie Lee Sofie’s Instagram Sarofsky  Austin Shaw
