The Greeks had no word for "create" or "creator". The Romans? "Creatio ex nihilo" - "to make something from nothing" Creativity was typically reserved for the gods. Poets had some clout. But artists were merely imitators. It was during the Renaissance that "creation" was first used in terms of human creativity. And it was during the Enlightenment that creativity was first linked to human imagination. People who make new things shape culture, and leaders make new things. Good leaders do not simply... - Condemn Culture - Critique Culture - Copy Culture - Control Culture - Consume Culture - Cancel Culture Good leaders shape culture by creating culture.

Breadbox leverages the educational expertise of Junior Achievement to provide a free financial education tool for companies to provide to their employees. Companies now have a free tool that allows their employees to learn and track progress in skills such as building credit, funding education, and investing. Users have access to test their skills, find areas needed for improvement, and access additional tools including a budget tracker. To match Breadbox’s encouraging and optimistic approach to learning, the brand evolved into a bright, energetic, and lively experience. We created several assets from gamified badges and financial illustrations, to a whole educational platform system with an emphasis on making a system that was easy to scale and maintain. The system of colors and shapes are applicable all the way from thumbnail art creation to full blown course graphics. In product, Whiteboard came in after the vision and mission of this platform had been established by Junior Achievement. We were engaged as a strategic partner in making this vision come to life — utilizing strategy, design, and development to refine and get the platform out into the real world. We were tasked with mapping out the features to achieve the vision, and accounting for the technical and strategic implications to ensure the platform encourages learning and growth vs. creating shame and disappointment. The result? A robust WordPress learning platform, using Lifter LMS and a lot of custom features, full of intentional gamification, expert-written content, and individualized progress tracking and experiences.
