We're on a mission to bring creativity and creative thinking
to everyone.
EVERYONE IS CREATIVE
EVEN IF THEY DON'T THINK THEY ARE
Since Faster Ideas launched in 2019, we’ve been working to bring creativity and creative thinking to as many people as possible through our blog, video & podcast interviews, and creative book reviews.
WHAT'S NEXT?
The feedback and support we've had for Faster Ideas has been great. So now it's time to take things further. While the existing blog content will stay here on the site, we’re currently developing other online and offline content to help share our passion for creativity with even more people. Keep watching this space.
