What does it really take to survive 25 years in creative business?

In this episode of Beyond Form, Abdallahi M. Diop sits down with Berlin-based creative director and entrepreneur Christiane Bördner to unpack the truth behind longevity in design, fashion, and brand building.

From studio collapse and financial pressure to self-doubt and creative burnout, Christiane shares what most successful creatives rarely say out loud: you are never safe, and that’s part of the journey.

We talk about:

- Surviving three major business collapses

- Moving out of a 600sqm studio after 20 years

- The fear of not being good enough

- Staying creatively alive over decades

- Building and rebuilding in Berlin’s design scene

If you're a young creative trying to find your path or a seasoned designer navigating your next chapter , this conversation is for you.
