For Fast Company: My Creative Process Unfolding

For Fast Company: My Creative Process Unfolding

Saturday, July 2nd, 2011 - Filed under Comics and Sketches, Infographics, Spokesperson Sunni

When Fast Company put me one their 100 Most Creative People in Business 2011 list, they asked that I draw an image of my creative process so they could use it to promote the event. They also asked me to send a self-portrait. So, since neither my creative process nor my self-portrait is sacred, I [...]

To my pleasant (and slightly confused) surprise, Fast Company chose me as one of the folks on their 100 Most Creative People in Business List for 2011. (I came in at #56, so take that, Ryan Seacrest!) In seriousness, I was pleased to be acknowledged as a “Creative,” since it’s a title I haven’t embraced [...]

Own Products was founded by the  (now former) CEO of Method Products, which many of us know and love from the People Against Dirty campaign. Alastair Dorward took Method from a great but small company to one of the market titans in non-toxic cleaning products. And he’s about to do the same with Own. Tom [...]

PBS – ‘This Emotional Life’ Visual Series

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 - Filed under Comics and Sketches, Visual Book Summaries

PBS released a documentary called “This Emotional Life” and I saw it and went to pieces. If I could narrow down one aspect of human education without which we all suffer, it would be the lack of education around emotional intelligence and emotional management. “This Emotional Life” discusses a broad range of the emotional trials [...]

The War of Art – Visual Book Summary Part I and II

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 - Filed under Comics and Sketches, Infographics, Visual Book Summaries

Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art left an indelible impression on me (and many others I’m sure), so I decided to memorialize some of the lessons in a visual format. Both visuals were done by hand in one sitting, with calligraphy pens, no white-out and no first-try pencil marks. On occasion I would forget to [...]

As many of you know, Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos) is preoccupied with the pursuit of a little thing called happiness. He studies it, he gives presentations about it, and he successfully incorporates it into Zappos’ best practices for corporate culture. Since I met Tony, Alfred Lin and Brian Kalma at SXSW 2009, I’ve had [...]
