Navigating the Creative Economy (CAREERtalk)

Alumni discuss what it means to turn creative work into a sustainable career. The conversation centers on how they built their professional identity, marketed their skills, and navigated the business side of the creative economy. Each panelist brings a unique perspective, not only in their artistry, but also in the lessons learned, whether from working at a large company or running their own business. Get an honest look at what it takes to launch your creative career.

Moderator: Sarah Stack, Assistant Director and Career Coach at the Career Collaborative
