People often ask me, and “How do you invent something fade viral?”
I never try to invent something viral for the sake of going viral,which is a very ambiguous term anyways. I try to invent visuals which point out things which I feel are overlooked. Virality is just a side effect.
I approach up with a unique visual notion and work with artists and experts to bring my vision to life.
I do lots of research. With each project, I say something new or elaborate on a subject in a way that’s never been done before. I consult with recognized professionals or exhaust existing data. I direct each project through the whole process, and working with talented artists to create flawless visuals.
One of my biggest inspirations is Steve Jobs. I encourage everyone to see the “Secrets of Life,” a short Steve Jobs interview.
