60 Second Interview: Dan Goode, Chief Seeker
Posted on 16 August 2012 by Seek & Adore Team
1. What is your job title?
“Chief seeker”
2. What are your main responsibilities?
“My main responsibility is to find exceptional talent. I do this by being out in the field at fairs, studios, anywhere where makers congregate in order to see their work.”
3. What do you love about your job?
“I really love meeting new makers and catching up with the makers I already know. My background is creative & I love being around creative people. Another strand of my background is collecting and in a way my job is to collect makers and give them a voice.”
4. If you were to offer our designer-makers one piece of advice about selling on Seek & Adore what would it be?
“Never ever underestimate the power of good photography. It’s the first impression you give to the world. It could mean you miss the opportunity of a lifetime, so you have to show yourself to your best advantage.”
5. How do you unleash your creativity?
“I trained as an actor, and work in theatre and TV. I studied ceramics and sculpture, I’m a painter and I write. What’s great about Seek & Adore is I get to use all these skills in different ways. The important thing is about creating a voice for makers, and shouting about them!”
