In this episode, I sit down with Naohmi Monroe and Ginger Boyd, co-founders of Amiga Studio, to discuss creativity, collaboration, and the lessons learned from building a values-led business.

We explore the early sparks that shaped their creative paths, the leap from freelance and full-time into starting their own studio, and the trust that keeps their partnership firm. We also delve into the realities of advocating for representation in commercial work, building crews with intention, and overcoming creative blocks, both individually and collectively.

Amiga Studio is more than a production house. It’s a practice in showing up with respect, clarity, and purpose. This one’s packed with honest reflections and hard-earned wisdom.

In this episode, I talk with illustrator and designer Casey Robertson about the long road to finding your creative voice. Casey shares how skateboarding, Thrasher magazine, and the pandemic all shaped his unique style—and why he's less interested in chasing trends and more interested in making honest work.

We get into creative burnout, pricing your work, dealing with clients, and why the real superpower is staying grounded in your values. This one's a must-listen for anyone building a creative career outside the lines.
