S02/E19 - What Do You Want to Be Known For? Geri Kriechbaum on Self-Taught Design & Identity

What do you want to be known for in five years? Austrian brand designer Geri Kriechbaum shares his journey from technical engineer to self-taught designer, why he built Stroncton after a trademark setback, and the power of putting your work out there even when it's imperfect. In this episode, we explore: • How Geri left engineering after realizing the nine-to-five mindset didn't align with his creative calling • The story behind Stroncton's name and the anchor-lighthouse symbolism • Why he spent nearly 10 years building apparel brand before offering design services to clients • Overcoming imposter syndrome as a self-taught designer without a degree • The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in creative work • How to define your designer identity instead of comparing yourself to others • Why sharing imperfect work creates opportunities (and how luck happens when you're visible) • Burnout lessons: Why sustainable daily progress beats unsustainable sprints Geri's advice to young designers: regularly ask yourself "What do I want to be known for in five years?" — and write down the answers. This question transformed how he builds his brand design studio and defines success on his own terms. 🎙️ LISTEN ON PODCAST PLATFORMS Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
