A conversation with Tiffany West about her journey from feeling trapped and creatively unfulfilled in a government contractor role to creating her own branding and creative direction company, WestOakStyle.
Tiffany and I dive into her journey of finding creatively fulfilling work, the challenges of putting ourselves out there in work and life, the emotions and guilt around spending time exploring new paths, what it is like to build her own business, and the struggle to balance projects and set boundaries.
Tiffany shares her process of helping to design and decorate a new office space in DC for dynamic post-pandemic workstyles, collaborating and building connections with local artists, and finding new layers and communities in DC. We talk about how the way we work is shifting, questioning what work looks like and what work actually is, and how that shift requires creativity.
