On my journey from making a name for myself, to opening my eponymous studio, I’ve learned that the creative process is no linear affair. In this talk, I want to look at creativity not through its trajectory, but through its stretch. From finding pleasure in the creative act to its pain points and friction, we seem to need it all to have it all. In a world where freedom can feel vertiginous and structures can bring suppleness, creativity flows in unexpected ways and grows in unexpected places.
