Show Notes

Five key takeaways from this episode:

  1. A successful brand refresh starts internally - “your internal culture externalised” - ensuring visual change reflects lived values, not trends.
  2. Letting go of legacy language and structures can create space for inclusivity, growth, and new creative disciplines without erasing the brand’s origins.
  3. Building a brand collaboratively - with team members, tutors, and community - creates shared ownership and long-term resilience.
  4. Trusting others to carry the work forward is a necessary evolution for founders, allowing the brand to grow beyond a single person.
  5. Creativity flourishes when pressure is removed - embracing “take two” as a mindset invites experimentation, confidence, and continued learning.
