Switching to motion design and doing what you love, with Dan Silverstone

Dan Silverstone started out as a graphic designer at a "safe" council job before he found the courage to leave and join GRIN in Birmingham.

It was there that he developed his creative skills, becoming a senior designer and later, art director for the creative studio whose clients include HSBC and Knight Frank. Today, with a decade of experience behind him, Dan specialises in motion and loves to indulge in lots of side projects under the pseudonym, Pica.

In this episode, we chat about him growing up in Birmingham, switching careers to do more of what he loves, and his passion for video games and cyberpunk – things that hugely inspire his work. In fact, we mostly talk gaming, so if you're aware of "gamer's thumb" and grew up in the 1980s, this hour-long dive into Dan's world is especially for you.
