1 小时 1 分钟So when James Victoria was told by a professor in his design program during college that he just wasn't cut out for the famed institution that he was attending, instead of arguing, he left and then promptly launched and built his own successful design studio.
Years later, an accomplished illustrator, designer, and provocateur of the status quo, he returned to that very school, but this time to teach his own perpetually packed class.
So James has been described as part Darth Vader, part Yoda, prolific storyteller, designer, provocateur, artist, activist, and teacher.
A designer and creative thought leader who people look to find clarity and purpose in their life and work.
He's widely known for this deeply impassioned view on design and its place in the world.
At the helm of his independently run design studio, James makes work that takes a really strong position and often toes the line between sacred and profane, and the world has taken notice.
His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the permanent collections of the Louvre and the Library of Congress.
His client list includes countless industry leaders.
His book, Effect Perfection, is sort of a manifesto on living a creative full contact and a live life.
And more recently, he's been facilitating a live mentoring program that he calls the creative warrior, which is the culmination of decades of teaching and mentoring and sharing.
And as he describes it, just me having fun with brave souls.
So excited to share this best of conversation with you.
And before we dive into it, I also want to take a moment to share some super exciting news.
So my new book, Sparked, is now available for preorder.
This is really the culmination of more than two decades of work getting to the heart of what makes us come alive in work and life.
It'll help you understand, maybe in a way that you never truly have been able to see or embrace those deeper drivers for work that fill you with meaning and joy and excitement and purpose.
And probably equally important, it reveals what work empties your soul, takes the greatest emotional toll, and requires the greatest recovery.
And it equips you to understand on an entirely different level, how to better, reimagine and reinvent this next season of work in life to truly, maybe for the first time ever, come more fully alive.
And there are some super cool immediate bonuses when you pre order.
