Michael Paterson chooses sunlight

In his own words:

I’ve always been creative, even as a kid; always had an interest in art, but my previous job was a business management job where my creative side wasn’t engaged at all. The transition when I gave it all up was a huge moment. Really, it was like the sun coming out after a huge long period of darkness. I thought to myself, “You only live once,” and to me it meant, “Why not actually live?”

Michael is now Associate Creative Director / Art Director at powerhouse agency Ogilvy and Mather in New York City and has directed top campaigns for clients such as IBM, Motorola, Cotton Inc. and SAP. 

We’d like to thank Michael for participating in our fear.less e-book.  Look for his profile when we launch in July.
