Our guest is illustrator and designer Mick Champayne. She refers to her work as having beauty and brains while being strategic and thoughtful. In addition, Champayne uses illustration as a tool for storytelling that tackles everything from light-hearted memes to serious social commentary — believing that art can be a catalyst for conversation and connection.

Currently, Champayne is a Sr. Visual Designer at Google.

In this episode, Champayne speaks with host Christian Solorzano about her introduction to art as a child, the internet, memes, motherhood, speculative design, humor, the creative process, and more.
