In this episode of The Insider, Alexandra Langdon is joined by Kay Prestney, founder of Kinship Creative, interior stylist, designer, author and creative collaborator.
Kay’s career has taken many different directions, from styling and interior design to editorial work, writing and building a community that brings creatives together. Together, Alexandra and Kay explore how creativity can shape a career, and why collaboration and connection have become such an important part of Kay’s work.
The conversation explores the art of telling stories through interiors, creating spaces that feel both beautiful and meaningful, and the importance of championing and supporting other creatives. Kay also shares the experience of writing her book, A Home for All Seasons, and how each chapter of her career has grown naturally from the one before it.
Together, they reflect on how nurturing creativity in childhood can build confidence that lasts into adult life, the experiences that shape the way we approach design, and why a creative career does not always have to follow a straight line.
