006 | Designing Experience | Alyssa Yuhas

In this episode of The Couragecast, I'm chatting with the Co-Founder of Designer Vaca, and all round design genius, Alyssa Yuhas. Alyssa shares how she has been able to move past her fears and why she believes that the best inspiration comes as a result of community and collaboration. To connect with Alyssa and to access the show notes, head over to www.thecouragecast.com.

For as long as Alyssa can remember, she's been collecting stacks of magazines. She followed that love to design school, where she was trained in visual design & communication. In nearly a decade since, she has worked for a boutique design firm, in-house and for an ad agency before starting her own business 7 years ago. She now works with clients from all over the world: from Sydney to London, from New York to Vancouver. In 2012, she moved across Canada to Toronto and pioneered the creative at C3, a vibrant church community. In 2012, Alyssa co-founded Designer VACA, an anti-conference (or vacation) for female graphic & web designers held in Palm Springs. Alyssa is a seven (https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-7/), a mother of boys, a binge podcast listener, was named one of 10 Young Designers to Watch by DesignEdge and this one time Katy Perry used her popcorn carton design at her movie premiere.
