In 2016, I became creative director of “The Creative Independent,” a unique digital platform serving creative professionals, started by Kickstarter, PBC.
As creative director, I was involved in everything — from establishing our principles, to designing the website, to building with code & copy, to growing an aligned team and process. The vision was a “Wikipedia of the creative process,” a networked resource that was radically readable and evergreen.
I built the
website with evolution in mind — it’s constructed to grow every day and be gardened over time. The site has continued to grow and evolve like a living organism and today is a network of over 1500 interviews: a rich database of thought from writers, musicians, designers, visual artists, and others in six languages.

"i think that @thecreativeindp has the best web design of any blog ("digital platform") that i have seen. not surprising since they embrace the website as a living, evolving organism. it's such a pleasure to visit after time away, and find the homepage has completely changed."
