Grief, Giving Yourself Grace, and the Power in Letting Go of Expectations and Taking a Chance on Your Own Creations With Zoë Ingram


Listen Later

Margo is joined by designer, artist, author, illustrator Zoe Ingram. Zoe has been illustrating since she could hold a pencil and professionally since 2013 after winning representation with her agent, Lilla Rogers. Zoe's forte is in designing patterns for textiles but she also enjoys editorial and book illustration. Animals and nature play a huge part in her work. Margo and Zoe discuss her experience in winning Lilla's competition for agency representation, how grief and loss has played a role in her creative journey, working full time on top of creative work, and much more.

Episode highlights:

  • Entering Lilla's agency competition on a whim and without expectations and her agency experience since winning
  • The power in taking chances on yourself
  • Her first book deal for illustration (and other book projects)
  • The grief of losing her husband and becoming the sole income provider
  • Why she works full time on top of her creative work
  • Making your days work for you (not vice versa)
  • Giving yourself grace and letting go of the outcomes
