Great essay. What a ride it’s been, Kyle. Enjoyed learning about your poster work at UNCG. Stay positive and keep ‘em coming.

Very relevant. Can relate to many of the same experiences over the course of my career. Is it safe to assume you prefer Adobe Fresco over Procreate?

Kyle, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your piece— it was truly fantastic! Thank you immensely for sharing it. I must say, it wasn’t too lengthy at all! In fact, I found myself wishing for even more content, perhaps delving into financial specifics of certain jobs or the intricacies of the Adobe acquisition. Of course, I understand there might be NDAs and confidentialities to consider, but gaining insight into pricing various types of work would be a knockout read. Thanks again for this article, it was the perfect read!

Thank you Kyle, for yet another brilliant share of your experiences. I absolutely look forward to your emails for your realness and authentic content. Thank you for reminding that there's so much consistency, trial and error, rejections and bouncing back behind all the shiny outcomes! Thank you for sharing your light in so many ways!

This might be the single greatest substack I've read. Thanks Kyle!

All of it resonates, but particularly #5. This still feels like the career opportunity multiplier so many young creatives miss (including me back when). Also, please share more. If there were a part two, I'd bookmark it twice.
