I met Layne at a local creative movie Premiere. It was “Watch the Word go by” a film by WrightSystems (a local fashion brand) which was an art film showcasing their new clothing and one-off clothing releases. Layne is a multimedia creative studying graphic design. Layne's colourful, playful, creative illustrations and designs caught my eye so she’s on the podcast today. Today we’re going to talk about her creative process, branding, creations, her upcoming Zine, mental health as a creative, confidence in sharing your work, her experience as a student studying graphic design at Curtain and our love for print.

I first saw Wyclef on my Tiktok page. Wyclef posts videos of himself with thought-provoking ideas or statements as a caption. These videos are presented in this casual demeanor which makes them quite humourous, but it doesn't take away from the fact that they make you think. The topics make great points for a discussion ~ perfect for a podcast actually. I then stumbled upon his music, it took me 2 seconds of hearing it to realize this guy has insane talent. I often find the greatest art comes from creations grounded in the philosophies of life. Wyclef music is a synthesis of indie rock and hip hop it’s amazing. In this episode, we talked about mental health, the creative process behind his music, his upcoming projects, and staying true to your art and we talk about his thought-provoking TikToks. Hope you enjoy it.

Calvin Liew is the designer behind Rated R Clo, a Perth-based clothing brand, founded in 2018. Rated R focuses on building high-quality, comfortable, versatile garments that last. Rated R’s primary narrative focuses on youth counter-culture which can be seen in the creative direction of the brand. I was really impressed by the material quality of Rated R's latest range. What I love about the Rated R brand is the creative community which the brand is built upon. Rated R was born out of a passion for clothing, sharing ideas with friends, and working on projects with other like-minded people. In this episode, we cover the early beginnings of the brand, and the differences between the last and latest collections, I check out some Rated R garments and we dive deep into the concepts that drive Rated R and its creative direction.
