Sebastian Curi on effort, learning from others and always evolving.
11/13/24 • 58 min
Sebastian Curi is an illustrator, graphic designer, painter, and animator. But don’t let that overwhelm you—he’s a wonderful, down-to-earth person.
In our conversation, he openly shares his career path, what he’s learned along the way, and the role of learning itself, a major theme in our discussion. Sebastian highlights not only the importance of continuous learning but also the joy it brings. He reminds us that hitting 30 or approaching 40 doesn’t mean you’re stuck or a “finished” creative who will never evolve. It's a motivating listen to keep going and keep honing our craft.
