Overview
The creative person journeys down a challenging, meandering road, constantly under attack by the outside forces of industry. They don’t have a map or a compass… just some guidelines learned long ago and a few helpful hands met along the way. The odds of reaching their goals are always stacked against them… but that never stopped Luke Skywalker, She-ra or Link.
James White, founder of the Signalnoise Studio, will tell his story of navigating the creative industry with highs and lows. Even though he’s grown up (-ish) now, James’ origin story tells of a passionate kid bursting with creativity, and looking for ways to bring his ideas to fruition.
