Building for
Creatives
I’m Katy Cowan, founder of Creative Boom.
I build platforms, conversations, and communities that support creative people.
Celebrating & supporting the creative community since 2009
Writing
Magazine
Creative Boom is my editorial platform for championing artists and designers, offering thoughtful features and practical insight for creatives at every stage of their careers.
Listening
Podcast
The Creative Boom Podcast is where I sit down with creative people for honest conversations about work, creativity, and what it really takes to build a sustainable creative life.
Engaging
Community
Creative Boom has grown into a trusted space where creatives come together to share experiences, support one another, and feel less alone in their work.
I’ve spent my career inside the creative industries, close to the people doing the work.
I’ve seen how powerful creativity can be, and how isolating this industry can feel when support is missing. Creative Boom exists because creative people deserve better representation, more honest conversations, and spaces where they feel seen rather than measured.
My focus now sits at the intersection of editorial, community, and conversation. Whether through Creative Boom, the podcast, or live events, my focus is on supporting creative people in ways that feel human, considered, and genuinely useful.
