a little visual diary of how i made something out of the fabric i found at an outdoor market in paris 🌟 wanted to document how i made the top from designing it, to sourcing the fabric, to sewing it together! i actually forgot to take pictures of the whole process (e.g. sewing on the strap + ruching it to create the bunching effect) lol but captured the main essence of it 🩵

Episode alert! I'm so happy to announce that Episode 3 is out now with the very talented @henasharma 🎉 (link in bio) Tune in for an inspiring discussion and a dose of creative inspiration! Hena is a versatile creative with a global upbringing currently working at Universal Music Group. We explore her journey as a writer, fashion designer, and musician. We discuss Hena's diverse South Asian diverse upbringing, and her ability to adapt and pivot her creative ventures. We look at the creative process behind her music and fashion brand @rasa.ldn how she found mentors in the music industry and pushed past barriers. These include balancing creativity with family expectations, the lack of representation of South Asians in creative industries, and achieving financial stability as a creative. The conversation also explores the powerful relationship between neurodiversity and creativity, uncovering its potential as a superpower. Join us in redefining 'success' in the South Asian context and learn how to overcome creative pressures and imposter syndrome. Topics covered: 🔹 Growing up across four countries: London, Ghana-Accra, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. 🔹 Navigating creative careers and balancing parental expectations. 🔹 Financial stability within the creative sphere. 🔹 The impact of ADHD on creativity. 🔹 What 'success' means in the South Asian context. 🔹 Coping with external and internal pressures as a creative. 🔹 The reality of South Asians in creative fields. 🔹 Confronting imposter syndrome, especially in music. 🔹 Finding mentors and guidance in the music industry. 🔹 Hena's evolution as a musician, from her debut Spotify track. 🔹 Leveraging unemployment gaps for creative growth in London. 🔹 The vision for her own fashion brand. 🔹 Enjoying the creative process as a designer. 🔹 Navigating the complex relationship between creativity and finances. #breakingboundaries #creativejourney #neurodiversity #southasian #mentor #podcast #ghana #india #bangladesh #srilanka #creativejourney #neurodiversity #southasian #impostersyndrome #london #fashiondesigner #textiles #opportunity
