"Working in a creative profession means signing up for super-crazy-exhilarating-frustrating-exciting days surrounded by wacky individuals—some of whom are your kind of wacky, others who are the straight-up WRONG kind. That’s why everyone—from the mightiest battle-scarred creative director to the fresh-out-of-college, starry-eyed baby designer—needs to attend an event like HOW Design Live once a year. "

"As the Community Content Director for HOW, HOW Interactive and Print, my job gets me a front-row view of the trends and developments happening in the design community. But I’m also someone who manages creatives, who deals with internal clients, and who—like everyone else—needs some extra creative inspiration every once in a while."

"When HOW asked me to help organize the HOW Leadership Conference—part of HOW Design Live, May 12 – 16 in Boston—I had one caveat: that it be less about “winning the rat race” and more about leading a meaningful life. I was inspired by a remarkable quote from David Foster Wallace that reads, in part, 'Deep down, you almost always like how a real leader makes you feel, the way you find yourself working harder and pushing yourself and thinking in ways you couldn’t ever get to on your own.'”

"I’m excited for HOW Design Live—May 12 – 16 in Boston—for a lot of the same reasons HOWies look forward to it every year. There’s the quality of the speakers (if I do say so myself)—design stars and thought leaders you’ll never find under the same roof anyplace else; the thoughtful mix of tactical and strategic sessions with case studies and creative inspiration; and the opportunities to meet and catch up with other designers and creative professionals."
