“Don’t try to repackage or repurpose someone else’s look if it’s not who you are” – Greg Gammino
In this episode, I sit down with veteran graphic designer Greg Gammino. He recently started his own design firm, building on a decade of experience working with brands like Canon, Ferrari, Walmart, and more. We talk about what to look for in a designer, how your image can make or break your career, why you need a logo, and much more.

This episode is brought to you by EDM Foundations.
EDM Foundations is my course for new producers, those who’ve been producing for under 12 months, or even those who’ve just started. You can learn more about it here.
The whole idea of the EDM Foundations course is that you learn the fundamentals of music production by actually doing and not just learning concepts. The course consists of 12+ hours worth of streamable video where I walk you through the creation of 3 songs, and give you advice for creating your own original.
We’ve had over 600 people sign up for the course, many of them have had great results. Hope to see you in there.
