Speaking | Jason Craig
Book Jason Craig for speaking engagements, design talks and creative presentations on branding, illustration, murals and purposeful creativity.
I like to talk and
I like to travel.
I’ve never been afraid of a microphone and I don’t hide behind a podium clicking slides.
In “Origins of Expert,” I give weight to the mundane experiences and stories that got me through the first ten years of my career while downplaying the successes of the second decade. I encourage young designers and recent graduates to “mind the gaps” and recognize that opportunities are in front of them every day if the just look for them.
“Trust the Experts” gives key insights to business owners and managers into retaining talent, improving creative workflow and getting the best possible work from your teams. It’s not all about unlimited vacations and company retreats. It’s about trusting your people to make you look good when it really counts.
Book me now.
