…on fitting the things you like into design. Alex Griendling is one half of Lunar Saloon, a Minneapolis-based creative studio that he runs with his wife Meg. He’s designed movie posters in Los Angeles, worked on brands like Apple, Cadillac and IBM and he joined Google to help revitalize their visual language and create an extensive style guide. Plus, he recently accepted a position as Senior Designer for game developer Bungie. Ryan and Alex go down some pop culture rabbit holes, discussing everything from Boba Fett costumes, Lost, Fortnite and, oh, some design talk too.
