Original graphic design, illustration, and badges for creative career podcast episodes.
The Creative Milestone is a podcast I launched at the beginning of 2025 with the goal of collecting insight and advice from industry professionals to support emerging graphic designers and creatives. The project serves as both an educational resource and a space for reflection on creative growth, career paths, and personal milestones.
My creative inspiration for the branding is rooted in nature and time spent outdoors. Visually, the identity draws from classic national park ephemera and vintage cartography, using stylization that evokes journeys—suggesting that with every bend in the road and every trail ahead, there is something new to learn and carry forward. The key art elements within the system—the mountain, firewatch tower, and propeller plane—symbolize lookout points and vistas, representing moments of perspective, guidance, and forward momentum along the creative journey.
