About

Isla stands for "I started life as" - We delve into the origins and evolutions of creators, makers, designers and entrepreneurs exploring their journeys from inception to their current state. Whether their paths have remained constant or diverged into new realms, Isla captures these narratives. We also spotlight products, journeys and businesses emphasising their transformation, whether through up-cycling, recycling, or innovative pivots.

Our broad scope is intentional, fostering exploration and celebrating the continuous evolution and change in design and creativity.

What sets Isla apart is our storytelling approach. We encourage our interviewees to express themselves in whatever format suits them – whether through text, visuals, videos, or any medium that best captures their story.

We're just getting started but excited to share our stories with the world.
