About Cold Email

Cold Email is a podcast by Basia & Olive (graphic designer-illustrator BFF combo) about navigating early creative careers & the non-linear path of “professional development.” By interviewing our peers and chronicling our own experiences, we hope to demystify some of the most opaque parts of the commercial art world for people starting out in design & illustration, as well as share some of the embarrassing but retrospectively-hilarious missteps that happen along the way.
