Karen: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. I help individuals, organizations, and cities build creative capacity using the mindsets, behaviors, and tools of design thinking.
Michael J. Bobbitt: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! The creative sector relies heavily on grants, causing financial instability. As a state agency, our value lies in driving systemic change: shaping policies, fostering cross-sector relationships, and promoting education. Breaking silos between arts and other industries can create a more financially stable and inclusive creative landscape.
