We’ve all been there. In a room full of people we pretend to know, in a meeting we don’t need to be in but are too insecure to speak up about it. The pressure, the awkwardness, and the unaddressed elephants in the room are all signs of an unhealthy team culture.
However, one thing must be present to get out of this rut.

2023-08-1020 minChief Creative PodcastThe Space To CreateLike most creative people, I believe in the power of spaces. It’s been scientifically proven that the space you work in will determine a lot of the strength of your work. So why don’t we put more effort into the space we create in?
I believe there are five reasons (probably more) why creative spaces matter.

2023-07-2714 minChief Creative PodcastHow Culture Is DefinedCulture at the workplace has not just become a buzzword of late, but even more what seems like an immovable object that just “is what it is.”
I refuse to live that way. Life is too short to work at a place that drains every aspect of your being from you 5-6 days a week. So why not make the place you’re at the type of place you’ve always wanted to work at?
