Sophia Chang on Hoarding Skills and Staying Busy
Listen now
Description
In less than a decade, Sophia Chang has managed to champion a name for herself in the art, design, and streetwear community worldwide. With her BFA from Parsons School of Design coupled with a natural acumen for business, she has collaborated with A-list names across multiple fields such as Samsung, Nike, Refinery29, Adidas, Apple, Footlocker, HBO, and the NBA. During this conversation with host Justin Gignac, Sophia describes herself as a skill hoarder. As Sophia explains, “Teach a man how to fish and they’ll eat for the rest of their lives.” It's an approach that has prepared her for evolving in an ever-shifting creative industry, and Sophia is already considering how to draw from that well in the current climate. In this episode, you will learn to assess and repurpose your skills in new ways for people who may need them. And you’ll learn ways to be proactive when work starts getting slow.
