SS2 | EP17 | Art, Business and Trusting Your Gut with DelBello Studio
We have a guest and she is the real deal. This week we sat down with Alex DelBello of DelBello Studio — a lifelong artist who was fully on track to become an engineer, took one hard look at her life, and chose Parsons in New York instead. No notes. Alex creates rugs from her original paintings and honestly her work has to be seen to be believed. But beyond the art, this conversation is really about what it takes to bet on yourself when the safer path is sitting right there. We get into how her style evolved through experimentation, what it actually looks like to build a creative business without losing your artistic soul, and how she navigates self-doubt when it shows up (because it always does). There's something really special about this one, three women in the same creative industry, carving out their own paths and cheering each other on while they do it. Alex reminded us that leaning all the way in is always the move, that community over competition is not just a cute phrase, and that the best thing you can do for your work is trust your own vision and drown out everyone else's noise. If you've ever thought about ditching the "sensible" path for the one that actually lights you up, this episode is your sign. x, N&C
