Additional details
November’s global theme is GROWTH!
“Creativity demands growth. Not the kind that can be measured with a ruler. It’s about taking stock of your character. Who’s ready to chase wild possibilities and meaningful progress? We must unlearn the need to be perfect and busy. Remember how to play and get our hands dirty again.”
James will share with us his experiences and expertise, ‘Turning Likes into Leads: Navigating Social Media as a Designer’.
