Introduce Yourself : Introduction + Branching Out by Maurice Cherry

Introduction + Branching Out

Hello everyone! My name is Maurice Cherry, and I'm a designer, producer, and podcaster in Atlanta, GA.

My career has mostly been in design and tech as an entrepreneur, podcaster, and design expert, but I want to try and branch into entertainment and see what possibilities may exist there!

Maybe you can think of an interesting way I can bring my skills to your project, like as a consultant or on-tape expert. Let's connect and find out!

Great to see you again, Maurice Cherry! How have you been?

What all do you do as a "designer"? There are definitely plenty of people in marketing who do "production" for "content" that you would be plenty qualified for.

You should definitely check out the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing) to chat up some of the professionals there to see how your skillset can transfer.

Also, listening to your podcast, and it's really well done! Congrats! How did you get it accepted into the Smithsonian? That's fantastic!

I've been a designer for over 20 years now, so I do (and have done) a lot of things -- graphic design, web design, experiential design, sound design, etc. At this stage in my career, I'm a creative strategist, and I work on products as a creative consultant, creative director, or art director, so I come up with the concepts and guide the creative production.

Also, my podcast is in the Smithsonian because they deemed it an important piece of culture, specifically for African-Americans. I go into the "why" more in-depth in this recent interview: https://tinkmedia.co/interviews/maurice-cherry
