Java Bere on going viral, getting a book deal and how sobriety has changed her, creatively

Java Bere is an artist, writer and stylist. She shares photographs and videos of her beautiful, colourful, maximalist home and tells stories of ‘home’ in the captions.

“I’ve always been creative,” she says, “but since stopping drinking [18 months ago], the focus pull has gone completely to my creative life.”

We speak about Java’s book deal for Your Space, Your Story: A creative guide to personal interiors, what it was like writing it from France while her husband homeschooled their two sons - and the importance of personal stories.

This is such a creatively juicy episode. Have a listen.
