71 | Blurring the lines between traditional and digital mediums..and trusting life’s timing, even though sometimes we don’t want to. Bron Alexander shares her colorful creative curiosity.

Margo chats with self-taught graphic designer/illustrator, Bron Alexander. Bron has over 20 years of experience along with a never-ending passion for her craft and a curiosity that never rests, dubbing herself the Curious Illustrator. Over the years she has struck a happy relationship between her illustration and design work where her design background influences her illustrations and vice versa. This has manifested in being able to become an effective editorial designer for magazines, create her own range of limited edition prints, greeting cards and stationery and most recently the creation of digital resources for designers and product developers.

She describes her style as being eclectic and ever evolving and she is inspired by artists both historic and contemporary.

Margo and Bron discuss:

  • How young pregnancy and marriage shaped her early life

  • Blurring the lines between traditional and digital mediums

  • Making money via affiliates

  • Trusting the timing and full circle moments in her career

  • Giving yourself the opportunity to pivot and change

  • Why she loves Rebelle for surface pattern design

  • Appropriation versus inspiration

  • Her equal love for minimalism and maximalism
