  • Freedom and Structure in Creativity with Sarah Aileen
    Feb 15 2023

    Sarah Aileen is an artist and designer based in Seattle, Washington. She specializes in hard-edge abstraction and minimalism. Her artistic style is a nod to her education in graphic design, love of editing, and fascination with color theory.

    She collaborates with designers, consultants, and collectors to create custom artwork. Her work is characterized by monochromatic fields of color that complement modern design and architecture and pop when juxtaposed with organic materials such as stone and wood. Sarah Aileen’s works are in residential and commercial collections across the United States, as well as Canada and Australia.

  • Trusting Your Intuition with Kaileen Elise
    Dec 27 2022

    Kaileen is an intuition coach who helps her clients cut through the noise in everyday life and get back in touch with their truest selves.

She believes intuition is the key to alignment, ease, manifesting, and finding fulfillment in life. This is why she teaches others how to access their intuition and trust what they hear. She lives in Austin, Texas with her husband and their three young children. She also boasts past lives as a collegiate swimmer, published author, Silicon Valley startup recruiter, and wellness company co-founder. Today’s episode is a little different because we’re really focusing on you, your intuition, headspace, and how that can fed into creativity. Kaileen is such a gift with her insight of what intuition is and how to harness it to feed into no only your creative practice but your life as a whole.
