7. What to Know Before You DIY Packaging Design with Lauren Felter
Description
Welcome to episode 7 of Product, Packaging, and Profit.
In this episode, we’re talking with Lauren Felter of Felter Unfiltered. Lauren is a design educator for non-designers. After spending the first decade of her career overseeing marketing and operations for a university admissions office, she blew it up to do it her own way.
She turned her highly sought-after university design course into one specifically for business owners, VAs, and professionals who aren't graphic designers but find designing an inevitable part of their regular to-do list. She prides herself on a no-shame, no-shade approach to her education, branding services, and website design.
In this episode, we break down
- What inspired Lauren to start teaching design to non-designers
- What to know before you DIY your design
- How to view a design through the lens of a customer
