Design is often treated as a visual commodity, but great brands connect with consumers and clients by designing an experience, not just a logo. Savvy entrepreneurs use design to develop an experience to connect with consumers, create consistency and deliver customer service. Maurice Cherry is a designer, podcaster and digital creator in Atlanta, GA. He shares why design is a critical element to brand building, customer service and connecting with your ideal client. He also shares why he launched a platform for black designers, developers and digital creatives around the world, Revision Path. It is the first podcast admitted to the Smithsonian, attributed to the National Museum of African-American History and Culture.
