FREE training here : https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup ___ In true ADHD style, artist Micah Clasper-Torch has had a winding career path, leading her to a variety of jobs in art, fashion, and startups. When Micah discovered the traditional craft of punch needle rug hooking, however, she unexpectedly uncovered a passion that would finally allow her to focus her creativity in a single direction. After completing a rug hooking program in 2019, she successfully launched her own business, Punch Needle World, with a mission to uplift the craft and make high-quality supplies and training accessible to all. Micah's passion may have inspired her to start her business, but it was when she received her official ADHD diagnosis that the rest of the entrepreneurship puzzle pieces fell into place. Her diagnosis taught her that her creative brain needs structure to thrive, and since building ADHD-friendly systems and supports into her days her business has only grown stronger. Join our conversation to hear how Micah structures her days to get the most out of her creativity, what's changed since getting diagnosed, her thoughts on creative entrepreneurship, and much more. ______________ Resources: Personal website: www.micahclasper-torch.com Instagram: @claspertorch Punch Needle World website: www.punchneedleworld.com Instagram: @punchneedle.world If you're interested in learning punch needle, check out her online courses here PUNCH NEEDLE ACADEMY .
