Let’s collaborate and play.”
Creative Merit
Merit badges for the creative journeyThis set of “Creative Merit Badges” are a representation of my attitudes towards creativity.
A deep-dive into my own practice, they consider what I value in my creativity, things I’ve done and things I want to do.
I believe creativity is as much about the process as it is about the outcome or achievement.
Creativity is an ongoing process of learning and trying and doing - much like earning a merit badge.
