Creative Boom

Creative Boom is the home for creatives across art and design - reaching over a million people every month with inspiration, advice, and stories that celebrate the creative life. Founded in 2009 by journalist and editor Katy Cowan, we’ve grown into a trusted destination for those working across art, design, and visual communication - from graphic designers, illustrators, and photographers to filmmakers, brand strategists, and beyond. Through our independent magazine, podcast, and private network, The Studio, we share the stories and insights that matter, highlight standout work, and champion both emerging and established talent. Everything we publish is shaped by real conversations with creatives, ensuring it reflects the challenges and opportunities of today’s industry. Our mission is simple: to inform, uplift, and connect - helping creative people everywhere stay motivated, feel seen, and build fulfilling, sustainable careers.
