In today’s episode, I chat for the first time ever to the very talented and inspiring creative, author, and designer Ngaio Parr who also happens to be the designer of my book - How to Start a SideHustle. Ngaio has an incredible design career but after experiencing a number of sudden deaths in her life she was compelled to create a resource that she would have wanted to help her through the process. In this episode, we dive into the ‘Grief Companion’ Ngaio’s card deck and guide to experiencing grief and discuss where the idea came from, how she went about pitching it to a publisher, and tips for doing so, making time to work on her side project whilst running her creative design business and her tips for taking an idea and making it a reality.

On Making Time For Your Creative Side Hustle with Author Ngaio Parr

In this episode, we were extremely fortunate to talk to one of the nicest and warmest persons you’ll ever meet - Ngaio Parr. Currently living in sunny California, Ngaio is an independent designer, author, artist and curator, and founder and director of Make Nice, an annual “un-conference” and online platform for creative women. We were keen to learn more about her very exciting journey through many different creative endeavours and to understand what shaped the unique artistic voice and style that characterises her today. Ngaio has worked with clients of the calibre of The New York Times, Disney, Penguin, Frankie Magazine, Buzzfeed, and Adobe, but one of the things we admire most about Ngaio is her ability to unite creativity and activism, not shying away from taking a stand on issues that matter to her – women’s rights being one of them.Her “un-conference” Make Nice was a very successful attempt at providing women in the design world in Australia and the US a safe space and supporting them in all areas of their careers. Ngaio is also the author of The Grief Companion, an illustrated deck of cards now available from Hardie Grant Books and other book providers. Ngaio designed The Grief Companion to offer insights into the ever-evolving grieving process: from thoughts and facts that help feel grounded and seen, to ideas on how to honour loss and memory, and other resources to guide people through their experience of grief as it continues to shift.We had a wonderfully relaxed and heartfelt conversation with this very special human being!Make sure to listen to it at this link on our website: https://www.tariexperiment.com/post/designer-supporting-other-women-ngaio-parr And if you like what you hear, please follow us on Instagram and share The Tari love!

What it’s like working from a home studio and how she keeps herself motivated.
