John Howard is the man. Okay, well, he is A man. But, when it comes to graphic design, he is THE MAN … specifically, an EnglishMAN who’s made Charlotte his home for 20 years. Senior Art Director at HMH, John is also the president of the Queen City chapter of AAF. And, just to make sure you know his pedigree, John created the original, innovative designs for NoDa Brewing’s classic cans. We dubbed him the “Queen City’s King of Cans.”

On this batch of The Biscuit podcast, John and Tim Miner talk about using daily challenges to maintain creativity in isolation and the importance of working side by side with creatives to stay sharp.
