007 Collecting Art and Sustainable Design with Kandy Christensen of Meandering Design

Published on: 4th June, 2018

Just like Kandy!!! Do you know that song, I think the lyrics go in a way a little bit racier but none the less, its a cute kick off as a description for this weeks podcast guest, Kandy Christensen from Meandering Design. Kandy came through to my studio and told me all about collecting art. Kandy and I are both art collectors, but Kandy talks to us today about her getting started in art collecting, as well as sustainable design for not only your home and workspace but also... your health. Kandy pops lots of vitamins, and we talk about it all on this weeks NoseyAF Podcast.

About the Podcast

noseyAF: Conversations about Art, Activism, and Social Change

Want to make creative work that actually matters? On noseyAF, you'll eavesdrop on honest, behind-the-scenes conversations between working artists, filmmakers, and community organizers who are building bold, culture-shifting projects—and sharing exactly how they do it.
I'm Stephanie Graham, a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker, and these are the conversations I actually want to have: unfiltered talks about creative breakthroughs, activist hustle, messy pivots, and daily practices that make a difference.
Sure, we cover the basics—who they are, what they do, and how they got started—but we also get nosy: How do they make decisions? What keeps them going? How do they pay their bills and stay true to their vision?
Every other week, I share these raw, energizing convos that fuel my own practice—and might just spark something in yours. Whether you're an artist, curator, cultural worker, or someone who loves peeking behind the curtain, you’ll walk away with practical strategies, real talk, and unexpected inspiration.
The best stories live in the details—and the most powerful creativity happens when we get wonderfully nosy about what really drives us.

About your host

Stephanie Graham

Hi there! I'm Stephanie, the creative force behind this podcast!
As a curious multi-disciplinary artist, filmmaker, and Real Housewives scholar, I dive into the fascinating world of relationships and subcultures through conversations with artists, activists, and neighbors. I explore their practices while sharing my journey in art, which includes creating films, photos, and installations focusing on race, social class, and subculture.
Outside of my studio practice and podcasting, I also run Graham Cracker Pins, which offers unique pins that reflect my love for creativity. Although my background involves work in TV and film, NDAs limit what I can share about those projects. Nevertheless, when I can, I do! For more of my art, visit missgraham.com or dive into pin heaven at GrahamCrackerPin.co. Join me as I unravel what others are up to with humor and curiosity.
