So, after spending the last six months in Bangkok, Saigon, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo and Seoul restarting my APAC and ASEAN creative consulting rebellions I am back in Finland/Europe for the summer.
It’s been a solid first two weeks in Helsinki. A bit of consulting, a lot of concepting, multiple meetings with old and new clients and collaborators alike; random, casual and scheduled real life conversations about creativity, brand and storytelling, a few video and/or audio calls out to Japan, Korea, US, Singapore and Sweden and a couple of interesting co-op offers from some of the most intriguing brands in Europe.
It’s been also nice to notice that my way of doing, thinking, saying and writing things - this gentle yet firm work rebel of mine based on ambition, differentiation, riot, chaos, humanity, respect, confidence, kindness, observing, freedom and independency - is something that all kinds of folks still find increasingly interesting. Not everyone though and that is precisely the way that I prefer it. If everybody everywhere likes my work, me or my creative philosophies; my work, I and my creative philosophies are simply too ordinary. No offense, just a fact.
This is the view from my Helsinki office that is everything but a normal office. It’s a high-building balcony by the sea. Never work in the traditional office unless absolutely necessary. Just a fact, no offense. Rebel is real.
