For over 15 years I have talked with fellow designers, developers and digital creatives who were asking for advice on how to launch their careers. As a Creative Director, I love mentoring people on topics like work ethic, finding inspiration, creative process, skill acquisition, how to get a job, handling clients, agency life, freelance, self-promotion and work life balance. I scoured through years of old emails, interviews, presentations and conversations for any advice that I had given others. Some of those findings are loosely organized into this book. My hope is that something within these pages helps motivate, direct, focus or prepare you in some way to launch your career and set you on a pathway towards achieving your dreams. It’s your life & career. Launch It.
Finally, answers to the question: How are big ideas born?
Creative directors, art directors and advertising copywriters are some of the great artists and thinkers of our time. Considering the scope and power of their influence in our culture, that’s not such a crazy idea.

Creatives are taught the rules of design by mentors and professors. We are told what to do and how to do it. “Follow the rules and color within the lines,” they say. “Only use two fonts on a page and don’t make your logo too complicated,” they say. It’s time for us to tell them to shove it.
Creative Anarchy explains and explores both rule-following and rule-breaking design. It includes tips to throw design caution to the wind, designers’ stories with galleries of work, and creative exercises to help push your designs to the next level. Creative Anarchy is about great design and awesome ideas.
