130 | What if We Put Creativity First? Lilla Rogers on Leaning Into Creative Passions, Thinking Outside the Box, and Being Uniquely You.

Margo is joined by none other than Lilla Rogers. With a degree in fine art from San Francisco and a second degree in illustration, Lilla spent the 1980s working as a  full-time, highly successful illustrator, whose art has featured in publications including the New York Times Magazine, Vogue magazine, the Grammys and many more. She then went on to found Lilla Rogers Studio, a visionary art agency that represents over three dozen artists from around the world and has sold art for products worth over $300 million. As well as representing some of the most sought-after artists worldwide, the Studio has licensed artwork on a huge variety of products, including best-selling children’s books, home décor, major ad campaigns, magazines, wall décor, and greetings cards: their client list includes Crate & Barrel, Chronicle, the New York Times, Blue Q, Godiva, Barneys New York, Warner Brothers, IKEA, Target, Paperchase, Anthropologie, and hundreds more.

Margo and Lilla discuss:

  • How she encourages finding your own voice and power

  • Opportunities and access to success for everyone

  • Where she found the strength to live life on her own terms and encouraging others to do the same

  • Amplifying marginalized voices

  • How the creative landscape has changed over time

  • Making creativity mandatory

  • Battling and balancing cultural overwhelm

  • Finding fulfillment and pride in creative work

  • Creating a better future for creatives

  • Upcoming projects and more
