It’s a pleasure to have your company on episode #42! Our guest is a formally trained designer who previously worked at IDEO and with startups including Mailbox, Medium, and Uber – then a few years ago she made a brave pivot and transitioned into spending more time painting, writing and creating. She is the author of a book many of you may have or heard of, titled; 'The Crossroads of Should and Must'.
Side note here, I suggest you watch one of the many talks she’s done, in particular the one titled ‘The importance of doing what you love’ it’s on vimeo.com. I highly, highly recommend it. She also runs a textile venture, the Bulan Project, a collaboration between designers and master batik artists in Bali.
Some of the topics we spoke about include:
- The job vs the career vs the calling? Her winding road of transition (even being denied admission from every law school she applied for)? How to protect your passion? The importance of play? And techniques to interpret our own dreams.
I present to you, the deeply captivating, thoughtful and tranquil … Elle Luna!
