Ever wondered what happens when graphic design meets fashion? In this episode, I sit down with Alyx Hucks, a designer who’s blending the digital world with the tactile magic of wearable art. We dive into her journey from creating eye-catching graphics to transforming thrifted pieces into wearable masterpieces that speak to personal growth and loss.

But it’s not just about fabric and design—it’s about the power of creativity as therapy, the unexpected lessons learned through experimenting with new skills, and how our designs can become powerful forms of self-expression. Alyx and I explore the evolving nature of art, the challenges of balancing traditional techniques with digital tools, and the emotional connections that art can help us navigate.

Think art therapy, fashion meets function, and a dash of experimentation—and you’ve got an episode full of inspiration and raw conversation about design, personal growth, and the magic of creating from the heart.

Ready to step into the world where creativity knows no boundaries? Tune in and get inspired to start your own artistic journey.
