Turning DIY, Motherhood, and Mess Into a Creative Business with Alyssa Vilardi of The Things We Built

Season 6 · Episode 5

Wednesday, November 12, 2025 • Duration 38:20

What happens when “making do” turns into making magic? This week, Annie and Lauren sit down with DIY designer and content creator Alyssa Vilardi of The Things We Built to talk about transforming everyday spaces (and everyday chaos) into something beautiful, functional, and full of heart. From painting nurseries in military housing to running a thriving content business, Alyssa shares how she built a brand rooted in authenticity, family, and the courage to take imperfect action. The trio dives into all things DIY, design, motherhood, and the art of creating joy right where you are, mess and all.

Alyssa Vilardi is a DIY designer, content creator, mom of three, and military spouse behind The Things We Built. She’s known for her approachable projects, honest storytelling, and knack for turning rental spaces into reflections of real life and creativity. Through her work, Alyssa proves that creativity and authenticity can make any house feel like home.

Landing Paid Art Projects with Major Brands & Finding Your Creative Voice with Cyn of Chalk & Brush

Season 6 · Episode 4

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 • Duration 42:45

What does it really mean to find your style, and your voice, as an artist? This week, Annie and Lauren sit down with muralist, lettering artist, and creative entrepreneur Cyn (“Cynno”) to talk about the messy middle of building a creative identity. All of the doubts, pivots, and dopamine hits that come with evolving your art and your business.

From her early days painting chalkboards to designing murals for Starbucks, Virgin Voyages, and local Miami landmarks, Cyn shares how she found confidence in color, clarity in process, and joy in community–all while staying true to her roots (and her flamingos).

Cinthia Santos is the muralist, lettering artist, and creative powerhouse behind Chalk and Brush Design Co. – the Miami studio turning blank walls into sunshine. Since 2013, she’s brought color, confidence, and community to brands and neighborhoods alike, proving that art really does change everything.
