On Creative Entrepreneurship

Justina Blakeney is a sought-after speaker and celebrated cultural voice who shares her perspective on creativity, design, branding, art, and entrepreneurship with audiences around the world. Her talks explore the power of color, the influence of nature in art, the magic of visual storytelling, and the wild, winding path of the creative process.

Whether she’s on stage at global design summits, in conversation at cultural institutions, or lighting up creative gatherings, Justina brings warmth, wisdom, and a contagious sense of possibility. Through her presence at live events and in media, she reminds us that creativity lives in all of us—and that it can be a gateway to connection, healing, and everyday magic.

Rooted in soulful storytelling and real-world experience, Justina’s voice resonates far beyond the design world. She invites audiences to reimagine what’s possible when we lead with imagination, heart, and purpose—on the stage, in our homes, and in the culture at large.
