The Launch of LearnedFromPeopleWhoLivedIt.com with Mathew Blades
We’re excited to share the launch of LearnFromPeopleWhoLivedIt.com, a website for Mathew Blades’ inspiring podcast. As a creative collaborator and long-time friend of Mathew’s, I had the opportunity to help bring his new venture to life through design, branding, and digital strategy.
Mathew and I had the pleasure of working together for several years at iHeartMedia in Phoenix, where I saw firsthand his incredible talent as a radio personality. When Mathew stepped off the airwaves to pursue a new calling, we met up to discuss his next chapter. That’s when we began creating his brand from the ground up, building something that would speak to his new mission of sharing real, life-changing stories with his audience.
Branding and Website Design
For Mathew’s new podcast, the “Learn From People Who Lived It” website, I crafted a logo that truly reflects the essence of the show: authenticity, inspiration, and real-life experiences. The logo was designed to feel approachable yet professional, inviting listeners to dive deep into the stories Mathew is sharing.
The website, LearnFromPeopleWhoLivedIt.com, was built to be clean, user-friendly, and informative, providing a seamless experience for visitors. The podcast episodes are easy to find, and the content is presented in a way that resonates with the audience. It’s a space that embodies the core message of the podcast while making it easy for listeners to connect, learn, and engage.
Podcast Presentation Design
Along with the website, I also designed custom podcast presentation elements that reflect Mathew’s voice and style. The goal was to create visuals that matched the professionalism of the show while staying true to the personal, human stories he shares. Whether it’s a podcast cover image or promotional graphics for social media, every piece was thoughtfully designed to complement the content.
eBook Cover and Layout
In addition to the website and podcast visuals, we worked together on an eBook that would be launched alongside the podcast. The cover design needed to be visually compelling and representative of Mathew’s unique storytelling approach. I created an eye-catching layout that would help the eBook stand out while still staying true to his personal brand and the podcast’s tone.
A Personal Connection
It was truly an honor to work with Mathew on this journey, and I was thrilled when he invited me to be featured on his podcast. We had a great conversation about design, creativity, and the importance of storytelling in both business and personal growth.
