In this episode, I’m joined by interior designer and founder of Gezellig Interiors, Annique Heesen. At the heart of Gezellig is the idea of creating spaces that speak to the soul.

 

Annique first joined me in November 2020, just over five years ago, right at the very beginning of Super Creative. So much has changed since then, and this felt like the perfect moment to sit down and catch up.

 

In this conversation, Annique shares what the last five years have looked like, from growing her studio, to refining the type of work she wants to do and the way she wants to work. We talk about building a values-led creative practice, the importance of trust and creative freedom with clients, and why great design starts with understanding how people actually want to live.

 

We also talk about leadership and team building, learning to let go of control, making space for deep creative work, and the lessons that come with experience, motherhood and time.

 

Once again, this is a thoughtful, generous and deeply reflective conversation about creativity, business and family. Annique’s original episode resonated strongly with listeners, and I know so many of you will take a lot from this follow-up.

 

I loved my catch up kōrero with Annique and I know you will too.
