Embracing anxiety and fear in a creative career
About the speaker
Ngaio is an illustrator, multidisciplinary designer, and curator who enjoys doing a lot of things at the same time. She works with clients like Thames & Hudson, The New York Times, Ban.do, Redbull, and Sibella Court from her independent studio. She teaches at the University of Technology Sydney, and is the director of Make Nice - a real-life conference and online platform for, by, and about creative women. In her spare time, Ngaio is a fan of ice-cream (of all kinds), Law & Order (of all kinds) and listening to people trying to pronounce her name (it's nigh-oh).
