Have you ever found yourself in a lunch line, only to end up deep in conversation with a complete stranger and walk away inspired? 

That’s exactly how today’s episode of Joy Curated begins, with a chance encounter at an Atlanta market with Jodi Kostelnik, the creative force behind The Neighborgoods. 

Jodi’s vibrant, food-themed dish towels and gifts now brighten kitchens worldwide — and she’s just opened her own flagship store inside D.C.'s Reagan National Airport.

In our conversation, we explore how following a curious creative spark led Jodi from designing holiday gifts for friends to building an international business around playful and beautiful kitchen essentials. 

You’ll hear about her journey from graphic design burnout to embracing hands-on creativity, and why she believes the beautiful tools you surround yourself with matter so much in your home.
