Designing a Creative Culture
This week on the podcast, we’re playing a presentation made by Evan MacDonald about creativity. Back in August of 2017, Evan was invited to speak at the International Design Conference hosted by the Industrial Designers' Society of America. He spoke about the role and importance of creativity in company culture, citing specific examples from his time as Design Director at Freefly Systems.
The Question
There wasn’t really a question, but here is some food for thought: “Who gets to own the label of ‘creative?’”

Scott Starrett is co-founder and creative director at Tandem in New York City. As a child he was fascinated by the fact that everything in the man-made world is made up of a series of ideas and choices. He realized human beings were making it up as they went...and he wanted in on it.
