This conversation really convicted and encouraged me to get out into the world and be an observer of life. Brandi has a really special gift when it comes to being present with others and then turning small fragments of interactions and observations into very connected art. She shares her tips for listening in so you can also create more from your personal experiences, how to work through creative ruts and more about her process of taking an idea to reality. 

How She Creates Challenge

This week we have a challenge for you. After you listen to the episode, go out, experience the world and turn it into art. Then share your observations and what you make with Brandi and I using the #howshecreates hashtag so we can all be a little more connected.Now, go listen and enjoy the show!

She spends all her free moments playing with paper and glue, and drawing a version of the world around her.  When she isn't making a mess or dreaming up new designs, she's spending time at one of her favorite neighborhood bookshops or watching episodes of Murder She Wrote, because nothing beats J.B.
