On this episode of Persephone Says, I sit down with Emily Clarke, the artist and CEO behind House of CLRK—the audacious production powerhouse known for purposeful design, floral fabrication, planning, stationery, and the kind of viral events you instantly recognize as hers.

We talk about her unlikely path from social work and the railroad to building a multi-arm creative business, plus the real conversations we don’t have enough in this industry: money, ambition, leadership, and what it takes to grow without losing yourself.

Emily gives honest takes, unapologetic energy and how to build a brand that lasts.
