The Creative’s Guide: Find meaningful work using the Design Thinking Process
How to navigate through change and instability—without fear
If you are working as a creative in Vancouver right now … you know how hard it is out there:
delayed projects, shrinking budgets, and thousands of layoffs.
Eric Joseph Lee was frustrated with the direction he was heading in as a designer.
He felt like he was swimming against the current — and he was tired of fighting to do work he didn’t find satisfying.
So, he decided to apply design thinking principles to help him leverage his experience, interests, and skills in a new way.
It was an unorthodox move. But design thinking gave him a reliable framework that allowed him to get curious — and uncover a new professional path.
