The Reflex Blue Show, Season 4, Episode 5: Emily Cohen Interview
July 18th, 2011 |Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show
I remember when Emily Cohen came to Omaha back in August of 2005 to speak to our local AIGA Chapter. The information she shared about pricing and winning pitches was one of the most useful talks I’ve ever been to. Unfortunately, it would take another two months before we started podcasting, so we never had the opportunity to have her on as a guest.
Another thing I’ve learned is that if you want to see great speakers, the HOW Conference seems to have them in bunches. So, when we were asked who we wanted to interview while at the HOWlive events last month, Emily was the first guest on my list. She still does business helping design firms and such as Emily Cohen, but now works with in-house teams at Cohen Miller Consulting.

The nightmare has ended! 1PT.Rule is back and alive on Monday mornings!
Those who have already listened to our insightful, inspirational, and slightly educational interview with designer Bill Grant will have caught a preview of today’s strip quickly during the show. We’ve interviewed so many designers over the past few years the answer to “how did you get started in X?” usually turns out to be “…the client asked if we did something we didn’t do, but we said yes because we wanted the work.”
AIGA Nebraska’s monthly Third Thursday social event has recaptured my heart after a string of very enjoyable times the past few outings. There’s networking to be had, and a chance to meet up with people in real life that you know you only really see on Twitter and Facebook anymore. Also, they were kind enough to let me pick this month’s location, and I have settled on the very best pizzeria in a four-state area (that also serves tasty, frothy beverages). I would very much like to see you there.
