Learn how DKNG Studios became the successful agency they are today, and how passion projects have shaped their careers along the way.

Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman have a career path that many designers dream of. Through their graphic design studio DKNG, they’ve been able to work on incredible projects ranging from creating concert posters for the likes of The Flight of the Conchords and Phish, to working on movie posters for Star Wars and Back to the Future, to designing a U.S. postage stamp, and so many other bucket list items along the way.

In this hour-long class, recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community, Dan and Nathan go on a deep dive of their portfolio and path, helping any aspiring designer understand how they got where they are today. They particularly emphasize the creative risks and personal projects that helped plant seeds for future paid work, and end the class with an exercise to help you brainstorm your own side projects that might just lead to incredible opportunities down the road.
