AS WE CREATE

John Suscovich is an independent author and marketing professional. After receiving a theater production degree from the University of Connecticut, he moved to New York City to work as a lighting tech for the Howard Stern Show. While in living in New York, John began cycling more and developed a curiosity for nutrition and agriculture. He quit his job at the Stern Show and embarked on a two year cycling trip to bring awareness to where our food comes from and the choices some farmers make. John began farming on his own and also helped start Connecticut's first farm brewery. All of this created the foundation for his company, Farm Marketing Solutions.

Jeanne Criscola made her way into graphic design through textiles and museum curation. We talk about what lead her to start her own design studio and much of the work she's done over the years, especially with Open Society Foundations. We also discuss the current state of education and the value of creativity.

Brad Collins is the founder of Group C. He shares how his love of science faded in college which eventually lead him to create his own curriculum. We talk about his love of the written word, how Group C came to be, and his methods of listening that help present his clients stories in unique ways.

This is a special posting of a Episode 9 - a conversion with Carissa Decelles from October 2022. Carissa was an award winning designer and a friend whose life was taken from her much too soon. This is a great episode that conveys just how resilient and inspiring she was. 
Thank you Carissa.

Catherine Casalino's love of photography and writing came together when she was exposed to the publishing world after college. We talk about her time at Simon & Schuster and Random House, and how that compares to running her own studio. She also walks us through some recent projects, including her contribution to the award winning film, American Fiction.
