Meet the Sonder Crew
To kick off the ✨ community vibes ✨, we would love to introduce you to Studio Sonder’s creativity crew…get used to these faces… you’ll see us a fair bit.
Whether running your webinars or working behind the scenes, we’re all VERY excited to get to know you.
[Especially the founding one hundred 💯]
But without further ado, let’s get into it. Here's a little intro from each of the Sonder Crew:
Dr Demi Aspey
Founder
My creative jam: Screenwriting, storytelling, and big bananas ideas 🍌
Passion project in the works: Building Studio Sonder, a few screenplays, a YouTube channel, and a partridge in a pear tree 🎬
Snack of choice: Dairy milk chocolate and salt and vinegar crisps – tbf, I’m eyeing up Anna’s popcorn salad 👀
Drink of choice: Obvs a coffee strong enough to knock Lorelai Gilmore’s socks off (or an Old Fashioned when the sun goes down) 🥃
One piece of advice for fellow creatives: Take messy action daily. And stop comparing your day 1 to someone’s day 100. The first draft of or attempt at anything is always sh*t ✍️
Your favourite way of finding creative inspiration: MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC. Alternatively, wild conspiracy theories on YouTube (makes for some good science fiction), life experiences, and jamming with other creative minds 💅
Creative toolkit: My notes app, a physical notebook, Joel the Cat, a comfy chair, and solitude (Queen of too-easily-distracted) 🐾
Creative soundtrack: Taylor Swift, The Killers, Classical Piano Music, The Hamilton Soundtrack, and the Training Montage from Rocky IV depending on how much motivation I need 🐕
Hannah Cahill
Brand/creative whiz + our organisation queen
Your creative jam: All things brand design & my monthly book club (which combines two of my fave things: books & wine) 📚
Passion project in the works: A podcast about women’s health 🎙️
Snack of choice: Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut 🍫
Drink of choice: Strong black coffee, always ☕️
One piece of advice for fellow creatives: Get out of your own damn way 🙃
Your favourite way of finding creative inspiration: Speaking to other humans IRL 👋
Creative toolkit: Everything Adobe, coffee-table-esque magazines, caffeine, snacks, dog-friendly workspace 🐶
Creative soundtrack: Anything and everything from Maximo Park to Alt J, to Stevie Wonder to Lizzo – depends on the mood ✌️
Anna Wrigley
Content/copy extraordinaire
My creative jam: Writing stories and substack newsletters (chatting sh*t basically) 📝
Passion project in the works: A novel (romcom lovers unite) 🩷
Snack of choice: Popcorn salad (Popcorn, pretzels, chocolate buttons and Haribos) 🍿
Drink of choice: Cup of tea, one sugar ALWAYS (Yorkshire, preferably) 🫖
One piece of advice for fellow creatives: Create for yourself like nobody will EVER see it… (and then show somebody) 🌈
Your way of finding creative inspiration: Walking my dog Ralf (or during breathwork—you’ll be surprised how well taking a breather works for that creative spark). ⚡️
Creative toolkit: A rhubarb candle, cup of tea, salt lamp, somebody’s dog if mine isn’t available, and Carmex lipbalm (crusty dusty lips = concentration who?!) 💄
Creative soundtrack: Taylor Swift, Dylan Gossett, the Bridgerton playlist or recently, ‘uk Dad music’’ on Spotify 🫣
Despite our differences, there’s one thing we have in common: we’re desperate to create.
We’re not perfect, and we’re all constantly questioning whether we’ll ever be good enough. But we’ve all also agreed to say a big, fat, collective F*CK YOU to all of the crap that gets in our way.
We’ll be sharing our journey on Studio Sonder. And we would love for you to join us.
Until then, we showed you ours. Now you show us yours...
