#002: Margo and Mandy get real and honest when it comes to creativity and finding a balance. Mandy Ford is a licensed illustrator, lettering artist, teacher, and all around creative soul living in Indiana with her husband Dan, twin boys Ben & Landon, and Siamese cat Chloe. She specializes in honest & whimsical artwork that encourages living a life grounded in authenticity.  

Some topics discussed include:

  • Being described as an artist at a young age
  • Being your worst critic
  • Finding time and balance to make a career being creative while also managing being a mom and wife
  • Working with an agent
  • Giving yourself permission to learn and experience new hobbies
  • And much more!

When she isn’t drawing, Mandy loves to art journal, pay attention to (and be surprised by) nature, and has never met a nap she doesn’t like. She’s currently obsessed with moon phases,

the enneagram (she’s a 4), and sending snail mail covered with stickers. Mandy keeps herself running on equal doses of hope and coffee.
