This week’s guest is Kylie Harber: a self-proclaimed multi-passionate creative. We first bonded 10 years ago over our shared love of writing, and I’ve since witnessed her equal talents as an artist, photographer, landscape architect, and designer.
Kylie lives in Brisbane, Australia, and is the founder of Tiny Giraffe featuring custom hand-drawn line art. She works as a senior landscape architect within Australia’s largest local government body, designing and delivering projects for the community.
After being international “pen pals” for years, Kylie and I finally met in person about two years ago when she visited California (yes, she’s a travel fanatic like me!). She was just as charming, kind, generous, and inspiring as I expected. It has been amazing to watch Kylie step fully into her leadership voice and grand dreams, and in 2020, many died on the vine while many came true in a big way.
In today’s episode, Kylie gets vulnerable to the challenges of quarantine and how the world falling apart somehow gave her new boldness to take big risks in honor of her dreams. The rewards have been remarkable - I can’t wait for you to hear from Kylie herself. Here’s your Leader of Hope for the week: Kylie Harber!
