Hybrid Creative

Tomorrow is the night I do a short presentation to talk a little bit about my path as a Hybrid creative (some one who can and WILL wear many hats throughout their career). This story in AdWeek explains it beautifully.

Edward Boches (@edwardboches), professor of advertising at Boston University, says, "If I still ran an agency, that's what I'd being doing: Learning from hybrid makers. Experimenting with new roles for creative people. And making sure to attend the financial meetings where staffing plans get made."

I'll be at Future Plant in North Portland across from Paul Bunyan sharing the stage with two artists.
