Are you a ‘Creative’?
No, but seriously...
Are you a ‘Creative’?
Don’t be shy. Raise your hands, now!
What’s the meaning of ‘Creative’?
Let’s have a look at the reference
Oxford Dictionary creative adjective - /kri:’eɪtɪv/ relating to or involving
the use of imagination or original ideas to create something.
Do you like it?
I don’t! It’s a categorization.
Sooo, who is a ‘Creative’?
An Industrial Design master?
A PhotoShop Jedi master?
An Illustrator ninja?
None of the above...
Here’s my definition
Someone who can use his brain
Someone who can find the balance
Someone who wants to have an impact
Someone who can think there are no dots 1 2

It’s expensive
The flinch
The ivory table syndrome
The mahogany table syndrome

What can you do?
Sell “tomorrow”, not “today”.
mostly to yourself.

Everything is possible in User Experience

None
And yes... I am done! But, remember...
None
