In this conversation, Dimitra and designer Leticia Credidio explore what it means to build a creative life—and brand—rooted in slowness, sustainability, and self-care. After years in the fast-paced design industry, Leticia stepped away to launch her namesake label, creating sleepwear that supports wellbeing and challenges the rush of fast fashion.
Together, they discuss how fast culture shows up in both creative work and daily life, and how choosing rest, ritual, and presence can radically transform how we create. Leticia opens up about burnout, redefining success, and how embracing slower rhythms led her to a more meaningful design practice.
If you’ve ever felt caught in urgency, comparison, or creative exhaustion, this episode offers permission to pause—and a blueprint for building your work around what truly matters.
Fast culture affects more than fashion—it shapes how we create, think, and live
True sustainability includes emotional, mental, and relational wellbeing
Burnout is a sign to reevaluate—not a badge of honor
Designing from reflection, not reaction, leads to deeper creative work
Rest rituals are essential tools, not indulgences
“Success” shaped by urgency can feel empty—slower paths often bring more meaning
Timeless collections are more sustainable than chasing trends
Comparison can derail authenticity—create from within, not from what’s popular
We need to rewire how we view productivity and creative value
Small daily intentions can restore energy and creative clarity
