24. Creating Joy and Finding Confidence: Corrie Sullivan

July 20, 2022 | interview by Nada Jones

Corrie Sullivan is an artist and the founder of Corrie in Color. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Aaron, and three daughters, Sienna, Scarlett, and Indigo (yes, all color names). The two initially left Ireland to spend a year exploring LA and are still here 12 years later. Corrie has always been creating. Her childhood love of texture and art led her to a degree in Textile Design and Art History from the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. Corrie is fascinated by the powerful way in which art influences and moves people. She loves soaking up inspiration from creative cities, museums, fashion, and food. And if you ever have the pleasure of running into her, she is sure to be wearing one of her quintessential bright outfits. 

In this episode, Nada sits down with Corrie to discuss how her pursuit of creating spaces of joy led her into the art installation world. Whether for private events, corporate events, short-term installations, or permanent installations, Ms. Sullivan has become the go-to designer for top brands. Corrie loves owning and running her own company and shares that she has even fallen in love with spreadsheets. She opens up about working with a team of freelancers and how to keep everyone working as a cohesive team.
