Today, I am joined by Nerida Hansen of Nerida Hansen Print and Textiles. 

Over the years, Nerida has supported independent artists by licensing their designs to big brands across the globe. 

Nerida is passionate about nurturing up and coming textile and surface artists and is always reinvesting back into the textile industry, by offering support, education and mentorships. 

It hasn't always been smooth sailing and at the time of recording, Nerida was days away from making life/business changing decisions about the future of her brand. She shares how her set backs and side steps gave her the skills she needed to create the business she has today. 

She  is so aware of her place in the world and is very mindful of the impact she is making. 

In this episode we talk about...

- Passion projects and side hustles blowing up

- How to balance trends with authentic work

- The difference between the creation and business 

- Sustainable and scalable businesses
