010: Building a Creative Business After Graduation with Streamline Collective

Podcast

Filed Under

May 27, 2025

Ever wonder what it actually looks like to go from student life to starting your own creative business? In this episode, I’m joined by Jack and Allie of Streamline Collective—a Cincinnati-meets-Lakeland design duo who turned their passion for creativity (and each other!) into a web design and branding studio.

With fresh experience in the design world and a heart for helping small businesses find their visual voice, Jack and Allie share what it’s been like to transition from college into client work, build a brand from scratch, and balance their individual creative strengths within one business.

We chat about:

  1. What the real-world expectations of designers actually look like after college
  2. Why stepping into entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be scary
  3. How they divide and conquer branding, photography, and social content
  4. Tips for taking that very first step toward building a brand
  5. What they’ve learned from working in editorial design, photography, and client services

If you’ve ever dreamed about starting something of your own—or you’re in that “what now?” season after graduation—this episode is an honest, encouraging peek behind the curtain of creative entrepreneurship.
