Ever feel like someplace else might suit you better? What does it take to move countries twice before finding the place that feels right for you? Find out in this conversation with industrial designer and visual development artist Susel Aleman.

Susel Aleman didn’t start taking art seriously until she was in high school. After graduating college in Cuba, she moved to France to pursue her Masters, and she’s since moved to the United States where she is a practicing industrial designer building pedagogical toys, and moonlights as a visual development artist and illustrator. Susel shares some great wisdom around artist block, overcoming challenges, and embracing curiosity and experimentation.
