Thinking Out Loud about "Design Thinking"
Can creativity be too distracting for your client?
I create content for clients as a creative director with a graphic design firm. And I create content for myself, and my audience, also a type of client, as a performing artist.

Because I haven’t seen that difficulty, I had not seen the need to articulate how they can co-exist.
