Where do you find your best creative inspiration?
I flip through at least a few pages of Jane Fulton Siriâs Thoughtless Acts nearly every day and remind myself to see the world through an inspirable lens. The rest is up to serendipity.
Whatâs the one creative advice or tip you wish youâd known as a young person?
Designing your path through life can be its own creative endeavour.
Who would you like to hear speak at CreativeMornings?
David Suzuki
What fact about you would surprise people?
I once wore a suit to work every day.
What was the best advice you were ever given?
âJust nerd out on whatever weird things interest you.â
Whatâs the most recent thing you learned (big or small)?
The âlikeâ button on Facebook is clicked over 6 billion times per day. Thatâs more than the amount of Google searches in a day.
Where is your favourite place to escape?
The Liwa Desert, United Arab Emirates
What books made a difference in your life and why?
Change by Design. It taught me that anything can be designed. Even change.

Mathew Chow is a Design Lead at IDEO San Francisco. Throughout his career, he has designed the conditions to provoke positive, large-scale change in complex human networks.
He currently focuses on seeing organizations through a human-centered lens to help them build the capabilities required to foster creativity and innovation.
But Mathewâs life and career are perhaps best summarized in an email that his dad wrote after his MBA graduation. It was the day before his first day at IDEO.
