Don't Overthink It and Start Doing the Work with Lincoln Design Co.

## Lincoln Design Co. This week on the show I'm stoked to bring you [Lincoln Design Co.](http://www.lincolndesignco.com/) I’ve been following these dudes work religiously since I discovered them on Instagram about a year and a half ago. I was lucky enough to meet up with them at Crop Conference and get them on the show with their crazy schedule. Lincoln Design Co is a Brand Design & Creative Agency who works with the likes of Nike, Element Skateboards, Harley, Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Disney, Nerf, Hot Wheels, Tony Hawk, Nickelodeon, yadda yadda I could keep on going but you get the point. These dudes are the shit and I feel very honored to get to share a bit of their story and background with you today. In this episode, Dan Janssen and company talk about: - building Lincoln Design Co. from the previous Soup Graphics. - organizing a killer on-site / remote team of illustrators and designers. - how they got started whether they had the traditional design education or not. - managing large client with tight turnaround times. - making time for brand awareness by having fun with creating merch. - what the typical day-to-day operations look like. - a look into their designing process. - upcoming projects and work they are excited about.
