Travel by Design: Eva Jorgensen on Crafting Global Experiences and Creative Retreats

Margo is joined by travel designer, leader of design trips & retreats, and the author of Paris by Design: An Inspired Guide to the City’s Creative Side, Eva Jorgensen. Eva is also a 17 year design industry veteran with an MFA degree who has taught art, ran an artisanal stationery company for a decade, curated an independent gift shop, and worked as a freelance creative director. Eva grew up in California and lived in France, Belgium, and Ohio for much of her 20s. She now lives in the Utah mountains with her husband, Kirk, and their 2 kids.

Margo and Eva discuss:

  • Eva’s upbringing in California and early artistic inspiration.
  • How both her Mother’s stories and influence and her Father’s entrepreneurial background guided her creative path.
  • How she went from operating a letterpress business to organizing exclusive creative retreats.
  • Her exciting plans for upcoming design-focused trips to Belgium and the Cotswolds.
  • Balancing artistic dreams with family life.
  • Her Ambition to one day write and direct an independent feature film.
  • Finding inspiration through nature, travel, and being offline.
  • How writing a magazine turned into a book. 
  • The importance of connection and how her retreats bring people together.
  • Eva’s upcoming retreats.
