The Purposeful Creative: For Anyone Trying To Find Their Place In The World

Ep. #6: Overcoming Perfectionism & Introversion with Christine Herrin


Listen Later

Today, I’ve brought  in my very first guest on the podcast. Her name is Christine Herrin, and she is an artist & graphic designer based in San Francisco, and she is currently one of the 4 creatives handpicked by Adobe to join their 2016 Creative Residency Program.
THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF…
You are either a perfectionist, an introvert, or both. We tackle stories and tips that range how to grow your network even if you’re introverted, how to not get stuck in paralysis that’s commonly experienced by perfectionists, to how to push yourself out of your comfort zone.



“LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH! Passion for something is enough. You have to build structures around it. Give it legs.” — Christine Herrin
