"Some of the greatest things that ever been designed can summed up in a word."

- Tim Greenhalgh, Founder and Creative Director at Like a Moth Limited and former Chief Creative Officer at Landor & Fitch's shares why alignment is everything in design and why so much creative time gets wasted when the designer, the team, and the client are each quietly picturing something different.

In the interview with Ekaterina Solomeina, DLX, Co-Founder of Future London Academy, he shares how to sell bold, challenging creative work to clients, what nobody tells you about becoming a chief creative officer, and why he believes there's no such thing as a bad project.

“Every time I returned from a module, the company immediately felt the benefits. It was like getting a boost every four months.”

💛 Future London Academy’s Executive Programme – Alumni Story 💛

Nicole Nissola, Product Design Leader, shares how the Executive Programme created an impact far beyond her own development.

After each module, she brought fresh perspectives back to her team, shared what she had learned and saw the benefits immediately. Stepping away from her day-to-day work also gave her the space to see the bigger picture, approach an upcoming project differently and strengthen her ability to develop other leaders within the company.

« I really encourage mission-driven founders to get onto that B2B model or B2B2C model as quickly as possible because I don’t think we’ve got the time for all these tiny startups to figure out how to grow and scale in the timeframes that we have to solve the problems.»

Since co-founding Olio in 2015 with Saasha Celestial-One, Tessa has grown the food sharing app to more than 8 million users and an estimated ÂŁ1.1 billion in social impact, alongside a B2B arm that now redistributes surplus for supermarkets, schools and production companies.

In the latest episode of the Creative Capes podcast, hosted by Ekaterina Solomeina, DLX, Tessa shared how she turned a local community WhatsApp group into an international purpose-driven business.

"If you design things around competition and winning, it's inherently a zero-sum game. I win and you lose. Whereas if you design something for contribution, we are potentially both winning."

This is advice from Ivo Gormley OBE, Founder of GoodGym.

In our latest interview, hosted by Ekaterina Solomeina, DLX, Co-Founder of Future London Academy, Ivo shares why designing around contribution instead of competition leaves everyone with something, and how that changes the ideas a team ends up with.

A year on, she's grateful for the people she shared it with, and for a shift that's changed how she works: she consciously examines not just what she's doing, but how she's doing it.
