Gritchelle Fallesgon is a Portland-based photographer with a background in graphic design and roots in punk and DIY culture. In this episode of outside is Magic, we talk about what it takes to leave the safe path, how to rebuild your creative identity, and the power of showing up fully as yourself.

We get into her transition from designer to photographer, navigating burnout, finding her voice in a male-dominated industry, and the importance of rest, self-trust, and owning your creative process.

In this episode, I sit down with Tom Briggs, designer, creative director, and one of the minds behind some of the most impactful work in cycling, music, and identity design.

We talk about how punk and DIY ethics shaped his creative foundation, how he approaches big design challenges, and why doing good work leads to more good work.

Tom shares lessons from designing for Specialized, building a student loan documentary, rebranding Moog, and working with people who deeply care about the outcome. We also dive into creative burnout, finding your path, and learning how to work from a place of alignment, not ego.

If you’re into design, culture, or just trying to build something that feels true to you, this conversation hits.

In this episode, I sit down with Ron Lewis, a musician, rider, and route builder, to talk about the creative process, burnout, music, and the quiet lessons that come from spending time outside.

Ron shares how he approaches life like a trail: one turn at a time, guided by feeling and intuition. We dive into how storytelling shows up in his design work, the role music plays in shaping perspective, and what it means to move through life slowly, with intention.

We also talk about the tension between passion and burnout, learning to trust your pace, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just show up.

Whether you’re a cyclist, a creative, or somewhere in between, this episode is a reminder that the long road often leads to the good stuff.
