Magical Moments with Celia Cheng
“If you do what you love, the money will follow, it will come. Because, when you love what you are doing, it is not work!”
Summary of Episode:
Jenn speaks to Celia Cheng of Cravings Media a boutique design studio focused on the art of letterpress production, digital consulting, and lifestyle editor based out of Honolulu! Celia shares her viewpoint on how every obstacle or encounter you have in life can be viewed as a magical moment. A designer and card maker, with over two decades of digital media experience, Celia walks us down memory lane connecting the dots and encouraging us to think inwards about what really excites us in life!
Correction: In this episode, Celia mentions many letterpress presses are from the 1800’s. Her Vandercook SP-15 is from the 1940's.
Cards for me are magical moments, the idea of sending something and it's how you show love, how you show somebody that you care.
