#4 Rachel Saslaw | Experience Design and Storytelling as Art

In this episode I talked with Rachel Saslaw, the founder of Storytell NYC, a storytelling open mic experience. Rachel turned a desire to connect deeply with others and share meaningful moments into an immersive, connected experience. I recently attended my first StoryTell and was touched by how an experience could be both deeply personal and deeply connected at the same time.

Here are some of my main take-aways from our conversation:

• Identity comes from a practice: Consistent actions or rituals can help us feel more comfort taking on a creative title.
• Leading with the heart over the head: Rachel has learned how to listen to and lead from her heart and she ties that into her work as an experience designer.
• Creation without purpose is key to our survival!

I highly recommend attending a StoryTell event if you are in NYC. To get tickets, follow the instagram page to keep an eye out for the next ticket launch!
