Ep. 162: Building a Colorful Second Act with Illustrator Yuko Shimizu [Rebroadcast]

<p>Illustrator Yuko Shimizu was born in Tokyo, Japan and began drawing from an early age. As a preteen, her family moved from Japan to the US, a huge culture shock that included learning an entirely new language and navigating social norms in 7th grade. This experience gave her an even deeper love for drawing - something that transcends any language barrier. After college, Yuko spent 11 years at a prestigious corporate PR firm in Japan before she decided to pursue her lifelong dream. At 34, she enrolled in art school in New York City. Since then, she’s received numerous accolades for her beautiful illustrations. A staunch supporter of going after what you want, Yuko certainly doesn’t regret any choices she’s made to draw a new path forward for herself.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p><a href="http://www.cleverpodcast.com/blog/ep-162-yuko-shimizu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Images, links and more from Yuko Shimizu on cleverpodcast.com!</a></p><br><p>Please say Hi on social! <a href="http://twitter.com/CleverPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/cleverpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/cleverpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> - @CleverPodcast, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amydevers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@amydevers</a></p><br><p>If you enjoy Clever we could use your support!
