The featured Designer of this month is Angi Sullins, she is the author and creative mind behind A Knock at the Door, the little film that continues to make a big splash on the Internet. Created as a valentine for the soul, the film has traveled the world several times over, passed via email from friend to friend in an enthusiastic word-of-mouth wildfire, inspiring over four million fans. She is also the founder and president of Duirwaigh Studios, a transmedia design studio creating products and services to inspire the power of imagination and creative conciousness.

After a decade in the inspiration business, Angi Sullins has taken her musings on the road. Described by her fans as a curious mix of Dr. King and Dr. Seuss, Angi delivers deeply soul-stirring messages with humorous, whimsical wit. Playful, poetic, bright, deeply expressive and armed with a standup comic’s sense of humor, Angi is an engaging writer and an electric speaker. An early review of her first audio book Duirwaighs and Dreamfields: A True Fairy Tale deemed it “Alley McBeal meets Eat Pray Love meets The Secret.” Her second book Flaming Muse, a collection of writings from her inspiration-blog Message from the Muse, showcases her storytelling talents, drawing comparisons to Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Liz Gilbert, and Anne Lamott.

What People are Saying about Angi:

“Once upon a time, somewhere north of the 1960’s and south of the Mason-Dixon, The Muse decided to reincarnate itself into the life of Angi Sullins. Angi is without doubt the modern incarnation of the Muse. And I’m not talking about a muse, I’m talking about The Muse…if you’re willing to burn in the pure fires of inspiration, then at all costs, listen with every fiber of your heart and soul to this message from The Muse.” Tim Campbell, publisher, Amber Lotus Publishing, Portland, Oregon

“Angi’s gift for story telling taps into the very essence of what the hopeful human experience can be and delivers it in trappings that wonder, mystify and inspire the listener/ reader to reach into their own matrix and come out revitalized, refreshed and empowered to be a better version of themselves. Angi is a rare gift. My encounters with her left me deeply touched and profoundly confused. She kicked me up a notch in my own evolution for which I am forever grateful. If you were to look at the face of your own personal muse I would not be surprised if he/she had an uncanny resemblance to Ms. Sullins.” Gretchen Boyer, workshop participant, Chicago, Illinois.
