Zoe Harveen Kaur on ZHK Designs

Brown Game Strong

If it isn't blatantly obvious, I'm a big fan of ZHK Designs, and so I had the absolute time of my life sitting down with Zoe, the founder, and just having a good old chit chat.

ZHK Designs is a digital art platform which strives to empower and educate the South Asian community and beyond. Zoe Harveen Kaur, the designer, focuses on representation and sharing various cultures and backgrounds through her art. Zoe is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and comes from a Punjabi-Sikh background, however her goal is to empower every community and share their traditions and cultures with others around the world. You can find her work on @zhkdesigns or zhkdesigns.com

In this masala-filled episode, we discuss Zoe's childhood growing up in Calgary and basically being related to every other Punjabi-Sikh in town, attending college, founding her business, dating as an entrepreneur, some of the most memorable pieces and series of illustrations she has released on ZHK Designs, her favourite Netflix shows and Bollywood films and what inspires her to create such cool art, as well as the community around her and how she deals with copycat artists. There's no doubt that Zoe is going to continue to soar and reach new heights, all whilst inspiring, educating and empowering the South Asian community in her wake, and we're all so here for it!
