EPISODE DESCRIPTIONNew Zealand-based graphic designer and creative entrepreneur Kristy Campbell went from horse-loving teen to the founder of Pink Pony Creative – a bold, unforgettable brand now recognized on global stages like Adobe MAX. In this episode of CAPTN OffScript, I talk with Kristy about how she grew her graphic design business into a 7-figure design studio in just a few years – all while navigating new motherhood, managing a global team, and staying true to her creative vision. We dive into how Kristy landed her first design clients through Instagram, how a 100-day design challenge sparked the birth of Pink Pony, and how her bold online presence helped her become a four-time Adobe MAX speaker. Kristy shares powerful lessons on letting go of perfectionism, building scalable systems as a creative, and how embracing her unique voice (and love for ponies) helped her stand out in a saturated design market. She also opens up about the mindset shifts that allowed her to grow her agency, the creative freedom she’s found through team delegation, and the role of mentorship, family support, and sheer determination in building a purpose-led business. Whether you’re a graphic designer, creative entrepreneur, agency founder, or just looking for inspiration, Kristy’s story is a masterclass in what’s possible when you lead with passion, process, and personality. If you’re searching for real talk about design, business growth, and building a global brand from scratch – this episode delivers.
