Guest Interview on Hodge Podge: “So Canadian, Eh?”

I’m delighted to share that I was recently invited to appear on Barbara’s blog, Hodge Podge, as part of her charming “So Canadian, Eh?” blogger interview series. It was an honour to take part in a conversation that celebrates Canadian creativity, perspectives, and the personal stories that shape our work.

Barbara asked thoughtful, engaging questions that encouraged me to reflect on my journey, the influences behind my work, and what being Canadian means to me as a creator. The interview format was relaxed and warm, allowing for honest answers and a few anecdotes along the way. I enjoyed the chance to talk about formative experiences, design sensibilities, and the small everyday inspirations that feed creativity.

I want to thank Barbara for her generous introduction and kind words. Hosting a series that highlights Canadian bloggers gives readers a window into diverse voices across the country, and I felt privileged to be included. The interview covers a mix of personal background, creative process, and practical tips for readers who follow blogging, design, or small business projects.

Being part of a wider community of bloggers and makers is energizing; interviews like this help foster connections, spark new ideas, and remind us of the common threads that link creative people across regions.

{And yes — I let slip a very big secret in the interview! I won’t spoil it here, but I promise more details will be coming soon.}
