Keeping Creative Experimentation Alive in Your Design Business with Kelli Anderson | The Typecast Episode 11

In this episode, Katie and Ilana interview Kelli Anderson—artist, designer, tinkerer, but most importantly, a person who genuinely craves human connection, which she creates through her art.

Join the conversation as Kelli walks us through her life: how predictability allowed her to explore her kind of art, what it’s like to produce her pop-up books, This Book is a Camera & This Book Is a Planetarium, how she’s guided by seeking freedom in her art process, and how she craves to build connection through her art.

Here's what you'll discover in this episode:

  • How seeking freedom allows Kelli to create her art

  • Revealing something from nothing: How there’s an artistic possibility hiding in plain sight

  • Finding the perfect match for your art—the right time, the right moment, the right people will seek your art

  • Why passion projects are so important

  • How social media becomes the third party between you and your art

  • Creating projects that break boundaries

  • Creating connection to people through art (even during a pandemic)

  • Why working with small businesses can be a good thing for a designer
