In this episode of Aphantasia Experiments, host Robin takes us on a heartfelt journey through creativity, marketing, and the hidden strengths of living with aphantasia. Although aphantasia means the inability to form mental images, Robin shares how this unique brain wiring has not limited her creativity — it’s actually enhanced it. From a career in graphic design and publishing to digital marketing and innovation, she reflects on how storing real-world inspiration and deeply noticing colors, patterns, and ideas has shaped her work in profound ways.

Robin also highlights the transformative role Canva plays in her creative process today, especially with powerful new tools like Canva Code and Canva Sheets. For anyone balancing an overflowing river of ideas (hello, ADHD and high-creativity minds!), these features make it easier than ever to bring concepts to life without needing a fully visual imagination.

Throughout the conversation, Robin opens up about how working with AI tools like Canva and ChatGPT isn’t about replacing creativity — it’s about unlocking it, especially for those whose brains work differently. She talks about the emotional side of creativity, the importance of being kind (even to AI!), and how technology can empower individuals who might otherwise feel overlooked by traditional creative paths.

Whether you live with aphantasia, ADHD, are bursting with untapped ideas, or are simply curious about new ways to innovate in marketing and design, this episode offers encouragement, inspiration, and actionable insight. Creativity doesn’t require a mind’s eye — it just requires heart, observation, and the right tools.

If you’ve ever felt like your brain works a little differently — and you wondered if that was a weakness — this episode is your reminder that it might actually be your greatest creative strength.
