Bold Voices. Unconventional Creativity. Zero Apologies.
A podcast about creative thinking, original work, and building a career without fitting the mould.
Creatively Eccentric is a podcast for designers, artists, makers, founders, and creative professionals who do things differently. Each episode explores the unconventional ideas, creative processes, projects, and career decisions that help people build original work and lasting success on their own terms.
Rather than focusing on hardship alone, the show dives into how creative difference shows up in the work — from unusual methods and bold experiments to niche businesses, distinctive design philosophies, and careers that refuse to follow the standard path.
Join Graphic Designer and host Heather Ebanks, alongside conversations with talented creatives, and practical tools for thriving outside the traditional path.
Creatively Eccentric doesn’t ask you to “find your niche” or play to the algorithm — it encourages you to build a career by being more of yourself.
