What if the key to growth is learning to fail — and keep going anyway?
In this episode of Echo & Ember, I sit down with strategist and former industrial designer Hannah Rankin to explore how creativity, business, and identity intersect — and why embracing failure might be one of the most important skills you can develop.
We talk about her transition from packaging and experience design to brand strategy, and how true creativity isn’t just about self-expression — it’s about solving real-world problems with clarity and care.
Hannah shares insights from working with some of the world’s most recognizable brands, how to navigate feedback without falling into micromanagement, and what it takes to thrive in both agency and in-house environments.
Whether you’re a creative professional or a strategist, this conversation will equip you to build better collaborations and stay grounded in your value — even when things don’t go as planned.
