  • Blythe Harris, Mallory May: Creativity Brings You Joy | The Vault With Dr. Judith Joseph
    May 21 2026

    Mallory May and Blythe Harris are lifelong creativity advocates, design thinkers and mess makers who have spent their careers helping others connect with their innate creativity. Blythe was co-founder and chief creative officer of Stella & Dot, and has been featured in Inc., Fast Company, Vogue France, and Elle, and on the TODAY show. Mallory spent over a decade as a vice president at Sotheby’s before launching a career as an artist, designer, and creative director.

    Her work has been featured in Vogue and exhibited at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. In 2020, they teamed up to launch DailyCreative.
    DAILY CREATIVE: The 5-Minute Habit To Rewire Your Brain is an interactive book that helps readers turn creativity into a daily wellness practice. Designed for busy lives and short attention spans, this beautifully illustrated book helps anyone build a five-minute creative habit that sparks joy, strengthens mental agility, and rewires the brain for possibility. Featuring 60 accessible exercises and bonus content that boosts innovation, unlocks perspective, reduces stress, and quiets perfectionism.

    No art skills needed. No talent required. Just curiosity, a pen, and five
    minutes. Creativity is not a personality trait. It’s a trainable neural pathway. Even short bursts of playful creative activity can activate the brain’s reward system, increase dopamine, strengthen neuroplasticity, and lower cortisol. Five minutes a day can:

    ● Boost innovation, focus, and problem-solving
    ● Reduce stress and anxiety
    ● Improve mental health and emotional resilience
    ● Expand imagination and personal expression
    WHY NOW?
    ● Rising burnout and overwhelm make simple, accessible wellness habits
    essential.
    ● Creativity is a top future-of-work skill and a driver of mental well-being.
    ● Consumers are craving analog tools that offer digital relief and emotional
    grounding.

    Blythe and Mallory join us on The Vault to discuss ways that we can use creativity to bring us daily points of hope, joy and to support our mental health and wellbeing.
