Galen Gidman<\/p>\n

is a 17-year-old designer, developer, and podcaster, and he’s also one of our free goods<\/a> sellers. Previously, we had Galen answer a few questions<\/a> about his inspiration and resources — today we follow up that discussion with a Skype chat that digs a little deeper into his workflow.
\n
\nIn the video below we hear how Galen started his own business at such a young age; why sharing your work is so important; and what it takes to manage such a variety of projects on top of a school schedule.
\nHint: the answer is hard work.<\/p>\n

You can check out Galen’s work on The Young Guns Show<\/a>, Dribbble<\/a>, and of course Creative Market<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
