The Power of Personal Projects
Ji Lee: The Transformative Power of Personal Projects
Inspiring talk from Ji Lee – now Creative Director of Google Creative Lab – about personal projects and their ability to transform your ideas as well as your career. From his own life experience of boredom resulting in an idea which turned viral and became a design phenomenon known as The Bubble Project”, Lee talks about how he created, financed, and marketed the project single-handedly, and how it ultimately forwarded his professional career. Featured on the 99% site, devoted to “making ideas happen”, and well worth visiting.
