Kieron Anthony Lewis.

What happens when a meticulous planner becomes a parent? Kieron joins Howard to talk about learning to adapt, balancing freelance work with family life, and finding space for the moments that don’t belong on a screen.

They trace Kieron’s path from comics and video game design to editorial work, including a two-year publication project celebrating art and culture in Lagos, Nigeria. Kieron shares what makes a physical book special, how relationships lead to new commissions, and why finding your own perspective matters more than repeating what already works.

The conversation also gets into using AI while keeping your design fundamentals, preparing for public speaking, and giving yourself permission to pause before answering. It closes with an honest reflection on saying no to uncertain briefs, family, loss, and making things your children can one day hold in their hands.
