In this episode of the Makings and Musings Podcast, I sit down with Hannah Ashe, an interior designer with a fascinating journey from being a music teacher to launching her own design business. We chat about the twists and turns of career change, the importance of balancing work with personal creativity, and the ways we both embrace creative expression in our lives.

Hannah shares how she transitioned from teaching music for 16 years to following her passion for interior design, how she integrates her love of natural materials into her work, and why working with period properties brings her joy. We also touch on creative confidence, mindful spending, and making work work for us rather than the other way around!

We also explore:

• The power of creativity as therapy and self-expression

• Trying different creative pursuits and learning from them

• The importance of natural light in workspaces and wellbeing

• Interior design as a tool for personal expression, not just decoration

• Navigating finances and business growth as creative entrepreneurs

If you’re considering a career shift, finding your own creative voice, or simply love hearing how others embrace their creativity, this episode is for you!
