In this virtual conversation, David — the person who brought us the Creative Essentials — joins us to close out a year built entirely on the creative principles he’s developed or espoused.
He'll reflect on the through line connecting what we've shared this year, and on what it really takes to build and sustain creative confidence over the long haul.
David is co-author, with Tom Kelley, of Creative Confidence, and the originator behind this year's Creative Essentials series. His work at the d.school has shaped how a generation of designers, leaders, and makers think about creativity — not as a rare gift, but as a capacity anyone can build.
You'll hear directly from David, connect with fellow participants in small group discussions, and join a live Q&A. This session is designed for everyone who's joined us this year or eager to hear from a humble, brilliant designer and leader.
Join us to celebrate the year and hear from the mind behind it all!
