In this episode, I chat with graphic designer Alastair Walker. After spending 13 years building his career in Manchester, rising through the ranks to creative director, Alastair took a step back to reassess. A four-month break in Vienna gave him the space to reflect and a desire for change eventually led him north to Dundee. We explore the relationship between software skills and creative thinking, the importance of building long-term trust with clients and whether designers should be managing projects or focusing on the work itself. Alastair shares how joining Creative Dundee’s Amps programme helped him build early connections and why he believes Dundee has the potential to nurture and celebrate small-scale creativity. We also get into the shifts between freelancing and full-time roles, and the bigger picture of what design means in and for Dundee. It’s a thoughtful and honest look at a creative career that’s evolved through curiosity, intention, and a desire to make meaningful work. https://www.alastairwalker.me/ https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/series/the_follow_up
