In this episode, Ange sits down with Heather Ebanks, a graphic designer, photographer, and founder of the blog Digital Fluidity. Originally from South London and now based in South Wales, Heather shares her journey of navigating the creative world as a woman of colour, particularly within corporate spaces that didn’t always appreciate or amplify her voice. From her early creative sparks (hint: think hair salons and Essence magazine) to her bold pivot from corporate admin roles to creative direction, Heather offers a candid look at the highs and lows of finding her place in the design industry.
Together, Ange and Heather explore the challenges of being overlooked in creative spaces and how Heather learned to claim her space, launch Digital Fluidity, and reconnect with her artistic spark. They discuss her upcoming podcast Creatively Eccentric, a platform that shines a spotlight on underrepresented designers, older creatives, and women of colour in design. Along the way, they dive into the joy of community, the overwhelm of having too many ideas, and the power of affirming, “I’ve got this.” This episode is a heartfelt love letter to self-trust, creativity, and the freedom to define success on your own terms.
