In this episode of the Gamechangers podcast, I’m talking to Julia Kostreva, artist, designer and art director behind her eponymous multidisciplinary studio. Julia works with iconic brands to hone their brand strategies and has worked on product collaborations with some heavy hitters including Anthropologie, West Elm, Urban Outfitters and CB2. Julia talks about the logistics of running a studio, including managing financials, drawing up contracts, and negotiating pricing, when and why you should invest in yourself, & how she lives by the "say yes" mentality. Enjoy!
