Daring Creativity
Daring Creativity is your backstage pass to the minds that shape our creative world.

Dare to be honest about the life behind the work - May Voyce
In Episode 50, Radim sits down with Mat Voyce — type animator whose kinetic, character-driven lettering has earned him a devoted following and a client list most freelancers would dream about. What starts as a conversation about craft quickly becomes something more personal: how a self-described jack-of-all-trades with middle-of-the-pack grades found his calling through animated type, and how the pressure of building something real collided with the weight of anxiety that nobody could see from the outside.
Mat traces his journey from childhood TV binges and PlayStation nights to architecture illustrations sold as wall art, to the type pieces he...

Murugiah returns to Daring Creativity for a conversation that feels like watching someone step fully into who they were always meant to be.
A multidisciplinary artist trained in architecture, living and working in London, Murugiah has spent the years since his last appearance developing a deeply personal body of work — acrylic paintings that fuse his digital aesthetic with a new emotional rawness, rooted in his Sri Lankan heritage and shaped by a decade of intentional craft. ~

Malika Favre is one of the most recognisable illustrators working today — a master of bold geometry, reduced palettes, and images you feel before you decode. George Wu is a graphic designer, event director, product creator, and by her own admission, a jack of all trades. Together, they created I Can't Afford This But Maybe She Can — a curation account that started as a private joke between two best friends and grew into a 350,000-follower community, a newsletter with a 70%+ open rate, and a full concept store with over 300 products from 90 independent brands worldwide.

Dora Drimalas, co-founder of San Francisco design studio Hybrid, joins Radim to explore what it really means to build a creative practice grounded in genuine, unfiltered curiosity. ~
Over 24 years, Hybrid has refused to specialise — working instead across branding, campaigns, books, and environments for clients from Nike to Lego — and Dora explains why that deliberate refusal to narrow down has been the studio's greatest creative strength.

Pablo Juncadella is co-founder and partner at Mucho, the Barcelona-based branding and identity studio approaching its 25th year.

Dare to make food your art form - Caroline Hobkinson
Caroline Hopkinson is a food artist and food anthropologist whose work sits at the collision of neuroscience, performance, ritual and sensory design. In this conversation she reframes everything we think we know about eating — not as sustenance or even pleasure, but as our most intimate, politically charged and deeply human act.
From the communion of a morning coffee order to immersive dining experiences in Berlin and Paris, Caroline reveals why food is the one domain where algorithms have no jurisdiction.
Food is our most intimate ritual — more so than sex, because what we eat literally becomes us an..."Creativity has always been a selfless thing for me" (Sam Mensah-Bonsu bonus episode)

Australian muralist Danielle Weber, joins Radim to explore the invisible layers behind a creative life — from a teenage detour that almost derailed her entirely, to the streets where brilliant and bruising human encounters shape every project. ~

Catharine and her partner Mark spent years running a full-service design studio doing ad campaigns and seasonal retail work — ticking every box and feeling none of it.

They emerged with a hyper-focused studio specialising in 2D frame animation, character design, an...
