Magazine editor turned landscape designer

Alison Garwood-Jones March 21, 2017

In honour of #Spring, Willful presents Nicolette Linton. Nikki is a former book and magazine editor turned landscape designer who traded in ridiculous amounts of swag for hauling 40-pound bags of topsoil. In ep. 1, she talks about:
• Studying to be a landscape designer after years of poring over copy.
• Becoming a mother — “it’s a different way of being” — and looking for a career to match that new reality.
• Being an antisocial extrovert.

Willful is the web series that tracks how artists and creative entrepreneurs work, thrive and survive. We interview one artist a week, then post two 5-minute snack films from that interview on YouTube each week.

Follow us here or on our YouTube Channel and website, WillfulProject.com, for our entire archive of inspiring interviews.

Thank you, Greg Garson and The Merchant Taps & Tavern for offering us SUCH a fantastic stage!
