In this episode of The Common Creative Podcast, Paul Fairweather and Chris Meredith chat with creative consultant Chris Doherty, who helps organisations navigate change through creativity, design, and storytelling.

Chris shares how intention, tension, and imperfection fuel creativity  and why handmade, human-centred work builds stronger connections. From his innovative “silence workshops” to blending illustration with strategy, Chris reveals how creative practices can transform teams and spark meaningful change.

Based in Canberra with the Holan Group, Chris draws on a background in theatre, psychology, and design to help people imagine  and build  a better tomorrow.
