Windy Chien, Fiber Artist and Woodworker

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Windy Chien, an artist whose Year of Knots project captured the imaginary of collectors and fans across the world last year. Windy creates beautiful works of art with knots; she’s also known for her macramé helix lights and carved wooden spoons. Windy’s path to life as an artist might be the epitome of what this podcast is all about. Windy moved from Hawaii to San Francisco to study film, ran the historic Aquarius Records store for 14 years, then joined Apple to help manage and grow the iTunes and App stores. On this episode, you’ll hear about Windy’s journey, the cycles of exploration and experimentation that have served her so well as she charts new career paths, and why knots called to her as an artist.
