“It is a terrible myth to believe that once we have children, our journey ends and theirs begins. For many of us, the most interesting and productive times in our lives comes after we have children.”
These words by Brené Brown form the introduction to the new book Mother / Founder by Amanda Jane Jones and Jennifer Fernandez.
It is a powerful statement and one that resonates deeply.
Come listen to my conversation with the co-author and talented designer Amanda Jane Jones who shares her journey from a rocky start at design school to becoming the co-creator and founding designer of Kinfolk and a prolific and coveted graphic designer and author.
