Joining me for the third episode of Gentle Creativity is Kate of Daphne Rosa. I met Kate at a Christmas show in Ipswich where we had a lovely chat about sustainability, creativity and her fabulous work. Her most iconic products are her beautiful wooden flowers which are guaranteed to brighten any space. We might have walked away with a couple of bits from her stall too!
In this episode, we talk about everything from the importance of business coaches, family and the perception of careers in the arts, to the way in which we talk about ourselves and the impact this can have on businesses.
Kate started her career as a high school art teacher and notes how part of her shift into working for herself was initially prompted by her teaching. She went from full time teaching to part time and then - because her work is so lovely and impossible to resist - to full time business owner. But initially, she wanted to show her students that being a successful artist with your own business is not just possible but also very much within their reach. So many of us have passions outside of what we do for work, but how many of us at a young age were put off from following our creative dreams because they didn’t fall under the very narrow heading of “a proper job”? I think I would have loved Kate as my teacher!
Family is central to Kate, from the name of her business to the way she has made her space a fun learning (and definitely play) environment for her children. Anyone who works from home or runs their own business knows the difficulty of switching off from work, delineating the space between work and home, and remaining present in leisure time. But as Kate talks, she really gives a sense of having created a very healthy and adaptable solution that works for her and her family.
If you want to know more about Kate and her work, all her links are below! I hope you enjoy this episode!
