To the future inhabitants and heirs of creativity, innovation and expressive thinking, it’s a joy and honour to share a semblance of thoughts, shaped as open format, honestly poised mantras that may offer sustenance. At the least, honest keystones to assist on your journey of applied creative thinking.Deciding where to start seems to present itself in the most novel of forms.Deciding where to start seems to present itself in the most novel of forms.The curiosity and excitement that perks our ears through childhood often expands to a field of enquiry and study. A sense of purpose and meaning can hearken back to the most joyous of memories. It is there, I believe you will find a seed to tend to.Considering the dedication and naturally mountainous terrains that await you, I’ve found pouring time into your first interest grounds your journey with an immovable sense of purpose. The initial spark itself is an elixir and guiding light of sorts.One who lives beyond the analytical and the logical reasons as to why a task or tenure should end. It is honing into a sense of your essence, and self that seems to create a well of nutrition required to pass through the most arduous landscapes.One that with each step affirms the weight of your decision. A personal gravity is required to anchor the journey

Focus on the gaps.Focus on what is known to be true but does not yet exist.Focus on what is seen, felt, heard and unseen, the undisclosed or discussed.Establish a concrete perspective or signature, rooted in clear values and emotional deliveries. How emotion takes shape, and what is deemed to be emotive will depend on your audience’s needs.We live amongst hyper-streams of information — digital, audible and physical. Clarifying your message without deflating its potency is an art in itself. The more specific and intimate the journey is to you, the less competition you will consider.Often what can exist is felt across the cultural and socioeconomic landscape. Use your youth as a compass and fresh, untainted perspectives to launch distilled, resolute and immediate discourse within your chosen fields of interest.Mine ambiguous routines and mundane systems in search of components, sprockets and corroborations to be replaced, at the least, enhanced.Think broadly about the shared ailments and elations of the human experience, and in particular, those your community feel particularly responsive to.Leverage the abstract; problems and solutions oscillate between the physical, spiritual, economic, geographic, political and cultural.Consolidating solutions across differing demographics can result in broader reach, and an expansion in servitude, thus reaching more humans.Put simply, your passion must find an anchor in purpose, or in service to become relevant to others. If this can be achieved without sacrificing a flame of passion, the results can deliver a sense of eudaemonia.

Immortalizing experiences:Community is the greatest anchor and starting line to fuel word of mouth. Ideas come to life when the idea itself reflects the journey and consideration others have partaken in. To include society is to ensure you are part of the zeitgeist.Throughout my journey in fashion and the arts, the social forum has provided the most human and effective means to sincerely build community. Subsequently, community seems to take shape when the individual can see themselves as the centre point of the dialogue or service that you are proposing.You must become part of the plural. Be it through guilds. Through events, coffee shops, maker workshops, fireside chats, library readings and book clubs.There is no more sincere a trait than to speak from solving one’s own ailment. Better to share an elixir created for yourself, than to share a device laden with ambiguity. Better to move the heart and soul through emotion, than to lecture justifications endlessly.Enabling emotion through language and sensory experiences offers the user and audience an experience that is in part a soft transaction, without the aggression of trade. Look to create memorable, emotive experiences for community— the immortalising of such memories should follow, as a tangible product.
