I CREATIVITYFLOW

We had another sold-out event for the second CreativityFlow Speaker Series, powered by Group Y and Laguna College of Art and Design.

The audience at the Rivian South Coast Theater was eager to hear from two incredible creatives: Nate Morley of Works Collective and Dane Storrusten of NFL. They both talked about their earlier careers and pivotal moments that helped rise to their current roles, working with the biggest brands and events like the UEFA World Cup, LA28 Olympics, and NFL—and a special video presentation from LCAD student / alumni Rachael Kricorian.

Join us for the next CreativityFlow on Wednesday, November 6th, in downtown Laguna Beach, CA, with Nikki Scoggins, VP of Creative Design and Content at Blizzard Entertainment, and Brian Takumi, VP of Brand Soul + Creative at Oakley.
