In this episode, we were extremely fortunate to talk to one of the nicest and warmest persons you’ll ever meet - Ngaio Parr. 

Currently living in sunny California, Ngaio is an independent designer, author, artist and curator, and founder and director of Make Nice, an annual “un-conference” and online platform for creative women. 

We were keen to learn more about her very exciting journey through many different creative endeavours and to understand what shaped the unique artistic voice and style that characterises her today. 

Ngaio has worked with clients of the calibre of The New York Times, Disney, Penguin, Frankie Magazine, Buzzfeed, and Adobe, but one of the things we admire most about Ngaio is her ability to unite creativity and activism, not shying away from taking a stand on issues that matter to her – women’s rights being one of them.

Her “un-conference” Make Nice was a very successful attempt at providing women in the design world in Australia and the US a safe space and supporting them in all areas of their careers.

 Ngaio is also the author of The Grief Companion, an illustrated deck of cards now available from Hardie Grant Books and other book providers. 

Ngaio designed The Grief Companion to offer insights into the ever-evolving grieving process: from thoughts and facts that help feel grounded and seen, to ideas on how to honour loss and memory, and other resources to guide people through their experience of grief as it continues to shift.

We had a wonderfully relaxed and heartfelt conversation with this very special human being!
