Making Waves with Karina Seljak & Artist, Designer, Entrepreneur Noosa

In this episode, I’m joined by Karina Seljak—an artist, designer, entrepreneur, and circular economy expert. At the time of our conversation, Karina was running Seljak Brand, working with mills to transform factory offcuts, deadstock yarn, and post-consumer textile waste into beautiful, award-winning blankets.


Karina shares how the Sunshine Coast is increasingly embracing the circular economy, driven by a deep-rooted commitment to environmental preservation. She highlights the future of sustainable textiles, guiding brands to take full responsibility for their products’ life cycles and invest in recycling and remanufacturing infrastructure. With the upcoming Olympics, the rise of innovation hubs and new companies establishing themselves in the region, the Sunshine Coast has a unique opportunity to participate in this space.


Since our chat, Karina and her business partner, Samantha Seljak, decided to close Seljak Brand in mid-2024 to share their learnings more widely. Karina now consults, advises, and teaches on circular economy, sustainable design, and branding and marketing for purpose-driven businesses. She’s also pursuing her art practice, having recently concluded her first solo exhibition, Light Speaks, at CA Gallery in Coolum, which explored the sentience of land through colour and form.

Why Mental Health Should Matter to Your Brand

Brands are powered by people, so whether you are a solopreneur, founder, or a leader in an organisation mental health affects everyone either directly or indirectly. The mental health of the people within your organisation has a huge influence on business affecting everything from project results, to creative thinking, and of course the livelihood of the people powering your brand.  


While the stigma of mental health is definitely shifting, there is still progress to be made in the workplace. It's with this episode we want to start the conversation about mental health and brand. We open up and get vulnerable, sharing how our own mental health experiences have shaped The Good Studio and what we think brands can do to ensure mental health is made a priority.
