Description

Neurodivergence is the term for those whose brains function differently in one or more ways than is considered standard or typical. In this episode Lea Gucciardi, the Founder and Creative Director of Arq Design Studio, shares about her journey to becoming a multi-6-figure design studio owner, her experience with ADHD and how it impacts her life and business, her coding background, and her newest offer for designers who are looking to take their Shopify projects to the next level. We are so grateful to Lea for opening up to us and our listeners, and for her vulnerability, strength, and willingness to share her story publicly. It is our hope that through this episode, designers with neurodivergent minds feel less alone and and encouraged by Lea's story of resilience and success.Guest Information:Guest Name: Lea GucciardiGuest Business Name: Arq Design StudioGuest Website: https://www.arqdesign.studio/Guest Instagram: @arqshopifystudioLinks Mentioned:Lea's Shopify Codex CourseMorgan Rapp Design Biz MasterySquarestylist with RacheLinks & Resources from Lea:Youtube communityResources on DiagnosesInstagram communitySuccessful entrepreneurs who are very open about their experiencesPodcast episode worth listening toInbox Question: "What is the best way to overcome imposter syndrome?" — Headlands CreativeSpecial thanks to our producer Jon from Wayfare Recording Co.Connect With Us:Our Free Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/betterbranddesigner/Podcast Website: https://www.betterbranddesigner.comPodcast Resources Page: https://www.betterbranddesigner.com/resourcesPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betterpodcast/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/betterpodcast

Better: The Brand Designer Podcast was founded on the belief that designers need community. We find that the branding world often feels secretive, competitive, and sometimes just plain old confusing. When we realized that our honest, soul-chat-level convos between designer friends could potentially help other designers, we realized a podcast was only natural!Better: The Brand Designer Podcast was created by Giselle Field of Wander Design Co. and Jen Davis from Hello June Creative, who met in a designer's Facebook group in 2019 and became quick design biz buddies. Grievously, Giselle passed away during a climbing trip in Peru in summer of 2020. We encourage all listeners of our podcast to listen to our two Celebrating Giselle episodes. Giselle's adventurous, kind, funny, and supportive presence is missed every day - each and every episode that we record is dedicated to her legacy and her vision for this podcast.In winter of 2022, we welcomed Esther Knox-Dekoning from Sereth Design as a new co-host. It is our honor to continue recording episodes in Giselle's memory and we know that she is with us every time we sit down to record.
