unapologetically epicDefining our Creative Studio's North StarI struggled with this for a while- creating a north star for the creative team toying with if we needed one that was specific to our studio- but after a few years I decided that it was as long over due and as it fit within the companies holistic goals and the needs of my clients I needed to carve out a path. And so began the quest to define something that the team could work towards. This notion of creating memorable and immersive experiences- and how we were going to manifest and create within our disciplines and offerings.

unapologetically epicWhat is your favorite cartoon?Let me explain- you do not have to grow up- and I would argue in order to be a great designer you shouldn’t. You need to be able to tap into your inner child in order to create fearlessly. Children have an innate sense of curiosity- and so in order to create fearlessly you have to feed your childhood soul and remember what it meant to be a kid. Question everything, ask why, don’t accept things for face value- oh yeah and be silly and have some fun.
