Episode 139: Kristine Rodriguez

posted by: Amy Small

Today on the show I have Kristine Rodriguez, the designer behind the knitwear brand, Declarative, the label. As we go back in time and dive into her story, I think you’ll be inspired by her brave decisions that pushed her design company along. She says that she looks back on that first collection and cringes, just a little. I think what we can all take away from that is that maybe you have to do that stinky first creative draft of something to continue to improve and evolve. With all of this in mind, let’s dive in!

Thank you so much for listening. To learn more about Kristine and her work, follow the links below!

Episode 138: Safiyyah Talley - The Drunk Knitter

posted by: Amy Small

Today on the show I have Safiyyah Talley aka the Drunk Knitter. There is a beautiful recurring theme that runs throughout her story and it’s a theme of creativity – coming out of the womb designing, needing to create – it never feels like work. It’s so beautiful and inspiring to see how she’s prioritized this within her own life despite the mom juggle she’s living in full force!
