This month on my newsletter: I spoke with Madeline O’Donoghue, the Auckland-based artist behind the iconic typefaces that feel both familiar and entirely her own. In this conversation, we dive into the behind-the-scenes of her creative practice, resisting perfection in our process, and why some of the best work comes from messy, intuitive moments.
“The more you know, the harder it can be to hold onto true naivety, and naivety is where the freedom sits.”
