We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Anastasia Gheorgoudas . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Anastasia below.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m an art director, I find solutions about how to advertise things. I come up with original ways to communicate with my audience and leave a lasting impression. I developed ideas for numerous brands while working with Edelman and Oglivy, and I collaborated with numerous teams. I currently work in-house with brands that I adore and who share my enthusiasm. I also produced a “don’t AF and drive” OOH campaign for Spotify, which has already won two awards in 2021.
What else should we know about how you took your side hustle and scaled it up into what it is today?
While I was starting out as a junior, I worked as a designer and an artist. As my work progressed, I realized I wanted to continue doing art as a side hustle, not for the money, but for the fulfillment it provided. Apart from being an art director, I am now an anime artist with my own web store who attends conventions to express my passion for art and sell my work.
Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
Of course there are! I’ll never stop finding new methods to make my life easier, and new products and websites always surprise me. I know everything there is to know about Photoshop & After Effects and I have my own ways of doing things, but people build great add-ons that allow you to achieve amazing things in less time, such as all these image and video galleries! I wish Young Me had known all of this! I’m sure I’d be further along now.
