Ruby MacKinnon

Artist Ruby MacKinnon grew up in a household where painting the walls with water was a normal Sunday-arvo activity. Coming from a line of artists, designers and teachers, it’s little wonder she ended up as a designer, illustrator and hand-lettering queen (with a quick stint in film and TV in between). We spoke to Ruby about her childhood heroes, freelance habits and the big business lessons she's picked up along the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan Soderstrom

When it comes to photography, today’s guest, Dan Soderstrom, is a bit of a jack of all trades. He’s shot everything from portraits of folks in their rental homes to touring musicians and really, really, really ridiculously good-looking food – and along the way, he’s worked with clients like NAB, Sony Music and Adidas Australia (you may have heard of them). Dan also happened to enter the frankie Good Stuff awards in 2018, so we sat down with the shutterbug to pick his creative brain. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daniel de Groot

Imagine a sleek diving board made from paper-thin white marble and steel, only it’s couch height and built for the sole purpose of holding your bowl of popcorn or glass of wine. That’s the project Daniel de Groot entered into the Good Stuff awards in 2018, along with his brother and wife, Anthony and Prue, who make up the furniture design studio Tuckbox. The trio has a passion for bringing simple, thoughtful design into the world, but they’re not afraid to mess around with the idea of what furniture could be. In this chat with frankie editor Sophie Kalagas, Daniel tells us how he stumbled into industrial design and why science podcasts inspire his work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kate Forsyth

We’re talking to Kate Forsyth, co-founder and creative director of Good Day Club – a vintage furniture hire and event styling business based in Melbourne. Kate is a self-confessed expert at stacking unstackable chairs, and designing and styling the raddest non-traditional weddings you can imagine. Think bright colours, neon signs, and snazzy velvet lounges instead of hard wooden pews. She’s also mastered the drum part of “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins, so overall, she’s a bit of a bad-arse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ruby Gill

Ruby was a music finalist in the 2019 Good Stuff awards, impressing the frankie team with a gritty, heart-wrenching tune called “Your Mum”.
