    29: Ash Murray's Creative Life

    Hey, and welcome to This Creative Life - conversations with creatives on creativity and how we can cultivate, inspire and nourish our creative souls. I’m your host, Danielle Hall, and today, I’m chatting to brand and graphic designer Ash Murray of The Studio Arcadia. Ash shares how her creative life started with a copy of Photoshop and everything she’s learnt along the way, how her human design helped her to fully lean into her calling and cultivate a workspace that embraces her creative process, as well as how to surrender and trust the ebbs and flows that come with creating in order to honour your work.

    28: Tess Baldwin's Creative Life

    Hey, and welcome to This Creative Life - conversations with creatives on creativity and how we can cultivate, inspire and nourish our creative souls. I’m your host, Danielle Hall, and today, I’m catching up with brand and web designer Tess Baldwin of Tess Creative Co, based on the South Coast. Tess shares how realising she was always inherently creative despite feeling the opposite changed her career path and helped her to find the sweet spot of creating for herself as well as others, how important it is to align your values with the work you do and the clients you work with and her advice for embracing the journey of living a creative life as a whole — and there’s also a bit of Harry Styles in the mix!

    27: Ally McGrath's Creative Life

    Hey, and welcome to This Creative Life - conversations with creatives on creativity and how we can cultivate, inspire and nourish our creative souls. I’m your host, Danielle Hall, and today, I’m chatting to digital content specialist Ally McGrath, based on the Sunshine Coast. Ally shares her creative journey that has come full circle, and how she embraces her multi-passionate nature as a creator and mother. We also chat about the societal conditioning multi-passionates have to work through, how to expand your creativity on TikTok and the truth behind the “master of none” quote we all think we know - until now.

    26: Hollie Arnett’s Creative Life

    Hey, and welcome to This Creative Life - conversations with creatives on creativity and how we can cultivate, inspire and nourish our creative souls. I’m your host, Danielle Hall, and today, I’m chatting to designer Hollie Arnett, brand strategist and creative coach of Maker and Moxie based in NZ. We dive into living an innately creative life - how multi-faceted and personal our creative output becomes, how essential it is to embrace showing up authentically, the inner work all creatives should do and what it means to be anti-creative.

    25: Chaitra Radhakrishna’s Creative Life

    Hey, and welcome to This Creative Life - conversations with creatives on creativity and how we can cultivate, inspire and nourish our creative souls. I’m your host, Danielle Hall, and today, I’m chatting to web designer and developer Chaitra Radhakrishna of Pink Pot Studio, based in Seattle. We have such a joyful chat about the creative awakening we all seem to go through in realising we want to live a creative life, how we can use creativity to meet our goals when logic tells us we can’t, and how to keep creating in small steps when our schedule is tight. We also talk about how deep rooted colour is to Chaitra and how magical colour really is in our world.
