In this episode, Katie and Ilana talk to poet and artist, Amber Vittoria. Amber shares how she’s able to naturally intertwine the kinds of art she does—poetry, visual and digital arts—and how it’s okay as people and as artists to pursue your interests that may or may not overlap with your career.

Take it from Amber; anyone can be a poet, a graphic designer, a painter all at the same time! She also shares some insights about how she manages her different income streams, how she handles her print shop through online platforms, and of course, her thoughts on AI and why it’s never going to replace artists.

All that and more when you listen to this episode:

• How seeking freedom allows Kelli to create her art

• Revealing something from nothing: How there’s an artistic possibility hiding in plain sight

• Finding the perfect match for your art—the right time, the right moment, the right people will seek your art

• Why passion projects are so important

• How social media becomes the third party between you and your art

• Creating projects that break boundaries

• Creating connection to people through art (even during a pandemic)

• Why working with small businesses can be a good thing for a designer
