Why Your Creativity Matters, In The Most Meaningful Way

Why Your Creativity Matters, In The Most Meaningful Way

Sometimes, we as designers can get a little caught up in the business side of things, and forget about the powerful impact that our work can have on people's lives.

Think about it - every day, we use products and services that have been carefully designed to make our lives easier and more enjoyable. And behind every great invention or public service, there's a team of talented designers who have poured their hearts and souls into making it work seamlessly.

What's more, design can be a powerful force for social change. From challenging stereotypes and promoting inclusivity, to inspiring positive cultural attitudes, designers have the power to make a real difference in the world.

So, let's not forget the true value of design - it's not just about making a buck or meeting a client's business goals. It's about using our creativity and skills to make the world a better, more beautiful place.

Your creativity matters.

Nicole Macdonald – January Made x Creative Process Collective

Hi there! I’m the founder and head architect behind Creative Process Collective, as well as owner and designer over at January Made Design.  You can guarantee I will greet you with an over the top smile and talk your ears off about all things creative, small business and probably pets (everyone loves pets). Serial over-sharer on social media, you’ll be able to find me most days sitting at my trestle table working away with a green tea and surrounded by too many house plants and most likely a cat stretched across my keyboard.
