I'm so excited to give you a peek into the life of Justina Blakeney! I love this girl! She's the kind of person you always want to be around--has a style that inspires, a sense of humor that will always keep you laughing, and a creative mind that moves the masses. Justina is a blogger and the co-founder (along with her sister Faith) of Compai, a design studio/consultancy specializing in style and sustainability, incorporating recycled materials and environmentally friendly practices into the design process whenever possible. She also works as the Marketing Manager for the awesome company Woolly Pocket. I visited her office recently and snapped a few pictures of her in action, then we headed to her studio/home aka The Jungalow to snap a few more.
Justina! Tell us, what's your art?
My art is my life--from the crazy outfits I pick out to wear in the morning to the upcycled doodads that I make at night and the visual communications that I create in between. To me, art is not a profession or a trade or a learned skill or a talent, but a colorful, cathartic way of engaging and interpreting the universe.
What keeps you going?
I'm the type of person that always has a lot on my plate. The good news is, I have a healthy appetite. Life is short, and it keeps getting shorter, so I try and do what I can to make it sweet and meaningful. What keeps you going?
If you aren't familiar with Justina's work, get familiar! She'll keep you on your toes and brighten your life. Thanks Justina for being part of the What's Your Art series!
