Whatever the creative industry, when you're confronted with the challenge of coming up with a Big Idea, always work with the most talented, innovative mind available. Hopefully... that's you.

Everywhere I go, I always look for creative entrepreneurs, whether it's artisans and craftsmen, small farmers and gardeners, or restaurateurs who use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.

I want to give other creatives the opportunity to find the entrepreneur inside themselves and teach them how to build their own platform.

And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.

My creative side is identifying all these great entrepreneurial creative people that come up with great ideas, whether they are in fashion or technology or a new tool to improve ourselves.

I don't really think of myself as a businessman at all. That's why I have the 'chief creative officer' role.

I design my start-up ventures around my own personal beliefs and values.

Till the time I found a creative outlet, I was trying to be extra creative at business, which would always put me in a situation of conflict with other stakeholders. The moment I started writing, my creative impulses were finally channelised.
