Brand Your Passion

As creatives, it can be so helpful to hear what other creatives have learnt in their journey. It makes us feel less alone, helps us see how other people navigate the things we're struggling with, and saves us from making those same mistakes ourselves.So when I interview artists and makers on this podcast, I always ask them the same question: What is the biggest lesson you've learnt about branding your passion?And while those answers are helpful on their own and alongside each artist's story, I also thought it would be fun to compile some answers together and see what we can learn from the commonalities and differences between them!So I've done just that and compiled the most powerful branding lessons from 12 incredible artists and makers who've built thriving creative businesses. From illustrators in New Zealand to designers in the US, these creatives have cracked the code on turning their passion into profit—and they're sharing their hard-won wisdom.Ready to discover what the most successful creatives know about branding their passions? Let's dive in.–––––––––––WANT MORE?Want your questions answered on the podcast, or be part of an awesome community of creatives supporting each other?

We've all been there – staring at that project or product that's consuming our time but just isn't delivering results. You know the one. Maybe it's that course that barely sells or the client work that drains your soul. The hardest part? Admitting it's time to let go, especially when you've already invested so much.In this episode, we’re talking about the key signs that it's time to let something go in your business, making those tough decisions and giving yourself permission to finally let go.I'm also getting vulnerable about something significant I'm letting go of in my own business for now. So stay tuned to the end for that announcement!If you've been holding onto something that's not working, this is your Maker & Moxie permission slip to let go and make space for the things you are passionate about.–––––––––––WANT MORE?Want your questions answered on the podcast, or be part of an awesome community of creatives supporting each other?

What do you get when you cross retro vibes with ecological magic and throw in some seriously large paintbrushes?You get Kell Sunshine aka Kelly Spencer – and this conversation will leave you inspired to think bigger (literally).Kelly is a muralist, letterer, and illustrator from New Zealand who's spent 17 years creating vibrant work that celebrates the interconnectedness of all living beings. Her distinctive style features lush, retro-inspired colour palettes and flowing, curvaceous forms, often centred around soil-sorceress protagonists that embody the earth's wisdom and magic.With over 250 clients and 50+ murals across six countries, her portfolio spans everything from album covers to tarot cards, gig posters, jigsaw puzzles, and beverage labels.In this episode, Kelly spills on combining passions, photographing your work, pitching your first mural, what happens when you develop "blank wall syndrome" (seeing mural potential everywhere), her 17-year secret to staying creatively motivated, and finding the willingness to ask "hey, can I paint that?”Fair warning: after listening, you might find yourself eyeing up every blank surface like it's your next masterpiece waiting to happen.Connect with Kelly Spencer:Instagram: @kell.sunshineWebsite: kellsunshine.com–––––––––––WANT MORE?Want your questions answered on the podcast, or be part of an awesome community of creatives supporting each other?

You know that feeling when you keep seeing the same artist's work in every shop?That's exactly what happened during my recent holiday - I kept spotting the same distinctive ceramics everywhere I went. The work was so recognisable and impossible to ignore that I knew I had to track down the artist behind it.That artist is Sophie Holt, an artist and illustrator with a real love for clay. Born in New Zealand but raised in The Netherlands studying Graphic Design, she returned to discover her roots and fell in love with the country all over again. Since setting up Studio Soph in 2015, she's been making a living creating art.In this episode, Sophie breaks down wholesale in a way that actually makes sense - how to approach retailers, build genuine relationships, and why working in collaborative studios has been massive for her business. She also shares why focusing on play is crucial for any artist and how being around other creatives taught her most of her business tricks.Her diverse range spans ceramics, stationery, and textiles, proving you can build a recognisable brand across different mediums. After nearly a decade of Studio Soph, Sophie's living proof that you can turn your passion into profit while staying true to your creative vision!Connect with Sophie Holt (Studio Soph):Instagram: @studiosophWebsite: www.studiosoph.comEpisode mentions:Little BeehiveZappekinTikitibu–––––––––––WANT MORE?Want your questions answered on the podcast, or be part of an awesome community of creatives supporting each other?

How many times have you put "write brand values," "update logo," or "redesign website" on your to-do list only to keep moving it to another day, another week, another month, and on and on until it's at the bottom of the list, or deleted altogether?This happens to the best of us. As creatives, we all have so many things on our minds and our to-do lists that it's easy to keep pushing something that doesn't feel as “urgent”. But branding is urgent and important, and if you're reading this, I reckon you know that already!Today, I'm going to share some practical tips on how to finally make progress on your branding, stop relegating it to the bottom of your to-do list, and transform your creative business.–––––––––––WANT MORE?Want your questions answered on the podcast, or be part of an awesome community of creatives supporting each other?

Have you ever heard people tell you that you need your brand to be personal, and that your audience wants to know and connect with the person behind the brand?Sounds great in theory, right? But how do you know how personal to be? Should you be sharing what you had for breakfast even if it has nothing to do with your work? Or documenting every random thought that pops into your head? Where’s the line between relatable and TMI?Here’s the thing - yes, people connect with people, that's true. But the "right" amount of personal in your brand is whatever feels authentic to you. If you don't want to share much, forcing it won't work. You need to set those boundaries that make your content feel good to create AND connect with your audience.In this episode, we're exploring how personal your brand really needs to be. You'll learn how to align your sharing style with your brand values, figure out your “why” before hitting that post button, and craft a social media approach that works for YOU, not what others are doing.–––––––––––If you'd like help, feedback, advice, or to hear how other creatives are approaching this so you can feel confident in your content, join us in the Brand Your Passion Collective.

Are you stuck in “learning mode” and not taking action? We all struggle with it from time to time: learning without doing because hey, learning is exciting! I get it. One of my core values is to never stop learning.
