How Play Fuels Creativity- An Interview with Wendy Conklin
On this episode, I’m speaking with Wendy Conklin of Chair Whimsy-
Wendy is one of the most creative people I’ve ever met, one look at her website or socials and you’ll get exactly what I mean. Wendy is a chair designer and educator, and after being lucky enough to work with Wendy on the photographs for her recent book, I knew I needed to have her on the show to talk about the importance of PLAYING, something we so often deny ourselves, and how play fuels creativity. I learned so much during our conversation, I can’t wait for you to hear from Wendy!
