Interviews with Creatives in Stories & Insights, May, 2024
“The most rewarding aspects of being a creative is finding an elegant solution to a complex problem, and knowing I’m making a difference in peoples’ lives. Sometimes I need to try out four, five, or six different design options to find the best one, and there are days when it feels like my brain just isn’t going to get there, but eventually the solution comes and it’s so exciting when everything clicks into place. Even better is the look on my client’s faces when they fall in love with a design. Their delight really is the best reward.”
