We asked vibrant artist and local gal Morgan Jamieson on her recent collaboration with Moe Moe - our favourite statement earring brand! We asked her all about her inspiration behind the collection, how she likes to spend a day in Geelong and surrounds - and how she manages to balance being a Mum and her busy work schedule. 

What has inspired this incredible range in collaboration with Moe Moe Design? 

Moe Moe reached out to see if I would be interested in a collab with them. I am a HUGE believer in the collaboration of like-minded businesses, I think it's great for cross-promotion and exposure for both businesses - particularly when you have similar audiences. I absolutely love Moe Moes products so it was a no-brainer! I love seeing how my work can translate onto products, it's truly fascinating!

Which style is your favourite from the range? 

Definitely the organic stud statement earring! I'm a big believer in more is more!! But I think Moe Moe have such a great range from minimal to max designs that suits everyone's taste.

 

Tell us what your ideal day in Geelong looks like? 

I live in a beautiful part of greater Geelong on the Bellarine Peninsula, a 10 min walk to the beach. My ideal day is on a Sunday, we have ZERO plans on Sunday so when the weather is warmer we get up, grab coffees and head to the beach with the kids. No time pressures and we can just be present with the kids and enjoy the sunshine.

How do you find your balance with work-life and motherhood?

Such a great question. It's a constant balance! I don't think that there is any finite answer to achieving great work-life balance with Motherhood. Working for myself gives me great freedom to be able to be at home with my babies, if we want to go and do something fun or if they are sick I can simply move my allocated 'work day' to nights, this gives me great flexibility. I'm also a big believer in 'night before' organisation, meal prepping and planning so that I can ensure that there is always nourishing meals and snacks in the fridge for little people on the go! Exercise is also a big thing for me, I run 4 times a week at 6am, this gives me the mental clarity I need each day to navigate the chaos that is a 2 year old, a 3 year old and running a business!
