Does living in a chaotic city kill your inner child, or force you to find it? (ft. Kaly)

In this episode of Making It, we sit down with Kaly, a Hong Kong-based artist and graphic designer, to explore how she uses art to answer the ultimate question: "Who am I?" From the "rainbow pencil" that sparked her journey to the reality of navigating anxiety in a high-intensity city, Kaly opens up about why she creates to preserve her "most innocent moment." We dive deep into the unique "hustle" of the Hong Kong art scene, the constant battle for space versus the need for connection, and why she believes that a supportive community is the only way for artists to truly thrive. If you are a creative trying to balance the grind with your passion, or someone looking to reconnect with their inner child, this conversation is for you. 🎧 IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: The Spark: How a simple rainbow pencil and a Paul Klee painting ignited a lifelong passion.
