Magie Khameneh on Illustration, Storytelling & Choosing the Creative Path
In this episode, I speak with illustrator and motion designer Magie Khameneh about the steps she took to build a creative life — and how she continues to balance a full-time design job with an evolving personal arts practice.
We talk about the challenges of showing work for the first time, how motion design complements her illustration process, and the quiet power of storytelling through children’s books. Magie’s journey is thoughtful, grounded, and a gentle reminder that every creative step counts.
Themes: illustration and storytelling, motion design, creative balance, children’s books, emerging artists, making time for art, creative pathfinding
